In Auckland, it is generally considered unsafe, and it is typically not legal to tow a car with a rope on public roads. The Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Recovery (2004) outlines specific regulations for towing vehicles.
It specifies that a vehicle should be towed with a rigid tow bar or a properly designed and fitted towing cradle. Using a rope might not provide adequate control, posing a risk to road safety.
However, in an emergency where no other method can be used, a vehicle can be towed a short distance to remove it from an unsafe position on the road. Always check with local authorities or legal experts for clarification on specific rules and regulations.
