Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
When towing another vehicle with a large vehicle, medium-sized vehicle, semi-medium-sized vehicle, ordinary vehicle, or large special vehicle, a towing license is required in addition to the license for the type of vehicle doing the towing, regardless of the circumstances.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
In principle, a towing license is required as stated above. However, there are exceptions: when towing a vehicle with a gross weight of 750 kilograms or less, or when towing a broken-down vehicle with a rope, crane, or similar means, a towing license is not required. The statement that it is "required regardless of the circumstances" is incorrect.
