The Dangers of Getting Towed By Inexperienced Towing Companies

Towing a vehicle comes with risks, which is why you should always ensure your tow truck driver is fully trained and certified to tow your vehicle securely. With TOW you are assured that all our drivers and sub-contractors have the skill and training to decently prepare your car for towing and get it to your destination securely and efficiently.

You may think you can save yourself some money by hiring a tow truck from a cut-price towing company, but you should be aware that when it comes to towing quality is significant. Mud cheap and less skilled towing companies generally will have staff who are insufficiently trained in the correct and safest procedures for towing. This can be utterly dangerous for your vehicle and can potentially lead to serious injury to yourself or another person, or significant harm to your vehicle or other property.

Hiring a professional can save you more money in the long run because if something does go wrong, your insurance company is unlikely to cover you for the harm caused by a dodgy tow job.

Unprofessional towing equipment can lead to serious problems on the road. Our tow truck drivers use high quality equipment that will correctly match the size and weight of your vehicle to ensure a safe drive. Attempting to pull a flow that is stronger than the safe limit, or that doesn’t fit together correctly with the towing vehicle, can significantly increase the risk of accidents on the road or harm to your vehicle.

Tow ropes or straps are not suitable for towing your vehicle over long distances, as they can lightly fray and snap while you’re driving and cause very serious harm. If your tow truck driver is using a tow string or strap you should stop them instantaneously and call in the services of a decently qualified towing company. All our professional tow truck drivers are supplied with a decent towing vehicle and all the necessary equipment to do the job correctly and securely.

Low visibility comes with towing vehicles on the road as a lot of your rear view and side view mirrors will be obstructed with the vehicle you are towing. Unless you are decently trained in treating a tow truck it will be a very difficult task for you to manoeuvre your vehicle on the road with such limited visibility. This will affect even the most basic driving moves, such as reversing, turning and switching lanes.

Our tow trucks are all built in with towing mirrors which either substitute or extend the existing side view mirrors, to permit our drivers to get a better view of the road and see traffic approaching from the side or rear. This makes them better tooled to treat traffic and road manoeuvres.

Treating the vehicle on the road is much more difficult when you are towing another vehicle behind it. There are a lot of extra complications that come with even the simplest drive, which is why a decently trained tow truck driver is absolutely necessary to operate the tow truck and navigate the roads securely.

When you are towing, the tow truck has a lot more mass which means it has more momentum and inertia than normal and the driver will have to treat it differently to a regular truck while they’re driving. An inexperienced tow truck operator may find it very difficult to treat this extra momentum, because it takes a lot more energy and skill to stop and embark.

Acceleration is much stiffer when towing a vehicle because it takes more time to build up speed. Merging onto a road or highway, or passing another vehicle, requires a strong concentrate and a constant arm, as well as always remembering the added length of the towed vehicle behind you. The driver’s speed needs to be cautiously maintained, as driving too quick can harm both the vehicle they’re driving and the vehicle they’re towing. And turning needs to be done with extra care as well, as taking turns too rapid can put a strain on the towing equipment and cause the vehicle to sway.

Braking can also cause problems if not done correctly. The extra mass of the towed vehicle means the driver needs more space, time and distance to come to a stop and if they are not decently trained in safe braking procedures they can cause serious accidents with other drivers on the road. Braking too prompt can lead to jack-knifing or skidding, and applying too much pressure can wear them out or overheat them and make them less effective.

Incapable towing vehicles that aren’t exclusively designed for towing will put your vehicle at serious risk of harm or accidents. Our tow trucks are all specifically intended for the job of securely towing your vehicle, with their suspension, brake system, engine and transmission able to decently treat the strain and mass of the added vehicle.

Balancing the geyser on the tow truck is another significant aspect of preparing to tow a vehicle, which our drivers are trained in doing correctly. Improper balancing procedures can lead to the vehicle swaying and fishtailing while driving, or potentially bruising some of its internal parts. Incorrect weight distribution can make turning a serious problem, and could result in overturning the vehicle.
