Chapter: Ch. 4 Pre-Drive Conduct
Section: 第２節 運転免許の仕組み
Type: True/False
Difficulty: hard

## Question
When towing a vehicle with a gross weight of 800 kilograms using an ordinary motor vehicle, a towing license is not required.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules state: "if the towed vehicle's gross weight is 750 kg or less, OR if you are towing a broken-down vehicle using a rope or crane, no towing endorsement is needed." Because 800 kg is over the 750 kg threshold, the driver must hold a towing endorsement on their licence. The statement is therefore incorrect.

## Source passage (Rules of the Road)
