hmm ma highways officer should not be touching a stricken car at ALL it is not in their remit...
Bear in mind folks that towing eyes are ONLY designed for flat tows with NO resistance ie the vehicle must not be stuck....
Fore gawds sake if in doubt dont tow it in this claim society we live in it could be bad news..
Have fun out there
robert francis:
after the last post, some 1 inteligent ( not me ) lol write out a legal binding disclaimer to get them to sign saying they take full reponsability if anything goes wrong,
then if you damage there car you got it in writing they understood and signed the disclaimer,
i feel clever today.
maybe get a solicitor to write 1 up

I know the theory of how to do it, but I've never had to do it for real - which probably means I'll foul it up.
Err... Any tips? 8-[

wish for rain at the national and buy a stiff tow rope, not that slightly bunjee type you have ;)
