Dale, it's illegal to tow on a public road with a chain or towstrap. You have to use a towbar or a dolley, and I own neither. I've used towstraps all my life, just never been caught yet LOL. That cop refused to leave - he sat right behind me with the lights flashing. There were a ton of cops flying back & forth through that intersection that night. There must have been something going on. Then they see ME all camoed out with my NRA & deer head stickers on my truck & they probably thought I was some gun-nut redneck (so what's wrong with that?) & they didn't want me plugging up their intersection. Oh well, first time in 138000 miles I had to be towed, I guess I was due...
