Tow Curling

Edinburgh

My car broke down on the way to the airport last week :(
Today I had to have it towed to the garage for diagnostics and repair.
Being towed by the van and being so close to it is toe curling.

nice info and image Bill... you always find a great scene..

Wow... you guys do things different over there. Down here it's illegal for anyone to ride in trailers or caravans which are being towed. Cars which are being towed like this... I'm not sure about since presumably there would be a need for someone to steer, though for the most part cars which are broken down get hauled away on a flat bed.
Maybe your car is trying to tell you something...

Nothing worse than a breakdown! Guess the van has you on a solid tow bar ... but so cool you documented this event. V

I can see now nerve racking that would be. Did you call any of those numbers?

Flatbed trucks here too unless it's a T-bar in which case nobody is in the driver's seat. Hope the troubles are minor Bill

You got towed by Alcoholics Anonymous?

Hopefully it's a lease car... V

A lot of drivers always drive this close, I just cringe at the thought.

Interesting way of towing a car, and very different from what they do in Saudi Arabia (pull it up on the bed of a truck).

I don't like following another vehicle that close!!
