Can you use emergency lights while towing a vehicle?

In the photo, a white car is connected by a tow rope to a black car that has a reflective warning triangle behind its rear window; both cars are standing on a paved area next to a town street. During towing, the towing vehicle must have its dipped headlights on, and the towed vehicle must have a triangle and, in poor visibility, its sidelights on. The Road Traffic Act does not provide for hazard warning lights when towing. The answer is: no.

The Road Traffic Act allows a power-driven vehicle to be towed only if the towing vehicle has its dipped headlights on, also in good visibility, and the towed vehicle is marked at the rear on the left-hand side with a reflective warning triangle and has its sidelights on in poor visibility; instead of the triangle, the towed vehicle may show flashing amber lights visible to others. Hazard warning lights are a signal that a vehicle has stopped because of a breakdown or accident; switched on in a moving vehicle combination, they would confuse other drivers and hide the indicators.

Legal basis: Art. 31 para. 1 point 2 and 5 and Art. 50 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
