Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. A motorcycle, by using a flexible coupling, providing for easy disconnection.
Explanation
In the photo, a blue agricultural tractor is seen from behind, with a plate with the number 40 on the cab and a rear linkage for mounting implements. With a tractor you can tow a motorcycle on a flexible connection that allows easy disconnection - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act requires a towed vehicle to be connected to the towing vehicle in such a way that it cannot come loose while driving - except for a motorcycle, which is towed on a flexible connection that is easy to disconnect. Thanks to this, if the motorcyclist falls over, they can quickly free themselves from the tow and will not be dragged. Towing another tractor with a trailer (answer A) is prohibited, because you must not tow more than one vehicle at a time. A passenger car towed on a flexible connection (answer B) must have two working braking systems; with two faulty ones it will not be able to brake and will run into the tractor. Remember also the speed limits when towing: 30 km/h in a built-up area and 60 km/h outside it, and the dipped headlights switched on in the towing vehicle.
