Ch. 4 · 第２節 運転免許の仕組み
When unavoidably towing a broken-down vehicle with an ordinary vehicle, the towing vehicle and the broken-down vehicle must be securely connected with a sturdy rope or similar means while maintaining a safe distance of within 10 meters between them, and a white cloth (30 centimeters square or larger) must be attached to the rope.
[True / False · Hard]
Answer: False
Explanation
The Rules of the Road specify that the safe distance between the towing vehicle and the broken-down vehicle must be "within 5 meters." The problem states "within 10 meters," which is incorrect. The size of the white cloth to be attached to the rope (30 centimeters square or larger) is correct.
