You tow a disabled car with a rope that is 6 m long. What must you attach to the rope?

  1. A flashing blue light
  2. A second rope
  3. A warning flag
  4. A slow-moving vehicle sign

Correct answer: A warning flag

A tow chain, rope, cable or tow bar that is longer than 5 m needs a warning flag. The flag helps other drivers see the line between the cars.
