Towing question

[Reads90]

Got a quick question

Been searching but can't anything on the net and need to settle a argument

Can you tow a broken down car on the road with another car in QLD

If so how far

Cheers

EDIT:
Technically it is legal (see bottom of p5) http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/a2570893-dd8b-4446-8ca1-a43bcd5caf57/safe_towing_information_v2.pdf

HOWEVER, I know people who have been fined for it - the reason being is that the vehicle being towed had power brakes (and/or steering) and the engine was not running, so the vehicle was not in a "safe" (or "roadworthy") condition according to the police.

So going by the above, you could tow a vehicle with a rope legally as long as it has no powered brakes or PAS, or if the engine is running.
