Title: Towing A Car?
Post by: bwaz on October 18, 2005, 10:33:04 AM

to tow a beetle in Washington state... does one need a permit of sorts? I expect once it gets into our lovely province it will need some day permit or something would it not? Any help appreciated!
thanks

Technically you are not allowed to tow a car on a hitch etc unless the car is fully insured and has the rider to be towed,

I know this from experiance... If your car comes unatached from your vehicle and hits something you must have insurance on that vehicle/trailer.

If you hit something with that vehicle and it is attached to your car still then the car you are drivings insurance covers it..

Anyone confused yet???
I know I was ;)
