BDifficulty 3/5

As a general rule, which vehicle should remove and transport a broken-down passenger car, with no exceptional mass or dimension grounds?

Correct answer

One intended for roadside assistance and registered in REAV.

A vehicle specifically intended for roadside assistance and registered in REAV, under Article 8.4 of Royal Decree 159/2021. The former general permission for another private vehicle to tow it to the nearest safe place was removed from the regulations in 2021. Being in a town, going to the nearest workshop or travelling under 200 metres does not create a general exemption. Follow officers’ and roadside-assistance instructions.
