Is it safe to tow a car with a rope or strap?
Towing a car with a rope or strap is only recommended under very limited and legal circumstances—and even then, it must be done with extreme caution. In most Australian states and territories, towing with a rope or strap on public roads is either restricted or prohibited unless it’s a last resort in an emergency situation. Even then, specific requirements must be met, such as a visible “On Tow” sign, limited speed, proper lighting, and safe driving practices. Ropes or straps can snap under tension, especially at higher speeds or if the towing vehicle brakes suddenly. For safety, legality, and vehicle protection, professional towing services using proper equipment like tow trucks or tilt trays are the safest and most reliable option.
Can I get my car towed without being present?
Yes, it is possible to have your car towed without being present, as long as the towing company has permission and access to the vehicle. Many towing providers allow customers to book a pickup over the phone or online, especially in cases where the vehicle has broken down or been left in a public or accessible location. You may need to provide written or digital authorisation, vehicle keys, and specific location details. Some companies may also require photo ID, proof of ownership, or information to confirm the request is legitimate. If the vehicle is locked or inside a secured area, arrangements will need to be made in advance to ensure access is possible.
What’s the difference between tilt tray towing and traditional towing?
Tilt tray towing involves a flatbed truck where the tray tilts to ground level, allowing the vehicle to be loaded and secured with minimal risk of damage. This method is ideal for transporting lowered vehicles, motorcycles, luxury cars, and vehicles that are no longer drivable due to damage. Traditional towing often uses a tow bar or hook and lifts either the front or rear wheels of the vehicle off the ground. While it’s suitable for many short-distance tows, it can cause wear and tear if not done correctly, especially for vehicles with automatic transmissions or all-wheel drive. Tilt tray towing is generally considered safer and more versatile for a wide range of transport needs.
