If it’s not, the car could start spinning as the tow truck moves it, which could cause damage to both the car and the tow truck. Second, make sure that the tow truck has enough room to fit the car and the tow dolly on either side. Finally, be sure to follow all traffic laws when loading and unloading your vehicle.
