BDifficulty 2/5

On an autopista or autovía, may you use your private car, which is not an authorised recovery vehicle, to tow another broken-down vehicle to the next exit?

Correct answer

No.

No. Article 8.4 of Royal Decree 159/2021 requires recovery and transport by a vehicle intended for roadside assistance and registered in REAV, apart from exceptional causes related to mass or dimensions. A private car is not authorised merely by going slowly or heading for the next exit. Contact roadside assistance and avoid exposing yourself to traffic.
