[shake d livin wake d dead]

I think the rope being used should be 3 meters or so,I think eh,ensure that your hazard lights on and you have the "ON TOW" sign visible to others,I may be missing other details,others allyuh could add to it.......

I remember reading the rules once and found them so exacting that it was clear that towing legally is near to impoossible.
Mental my brain dumped the infor. and replace it with always get a wrecker.

Absolutely right.

The laws were changed.

The fine is TT$3,000.00 if the police catch you towing a car with a rope. Of anysize, anywhere, anytime!!!

Flatbed is the way to go though some of those operators will kill you with price.

When was that law changed?

i curious mehself.

No motor vehicle shall tow any other vehicle unless the tow rope, chain or draw bar be so adjusted that the distance separating the nearest two points of the two vehicles shall not, except in the case of a pole trailer, exceed five metres, and the tow rope, chain or draw bar is easily distinguishable by other users of the road

He shall not, without the written permission of the Licensing Authority, tow anything except another motor vehicle in case of necessity, or a single registered trailer,
