Your friend's car will not start, and you will tow it a short distance with a 12-foot chain. What must you display on the chain?
Blue car A ahead will tow silver disabled car B behind. Both face right and the chain between them spans 12 feet at the car scale. A labeled enlarged chain detail shows the metal links. No warning cloth or flag is shown.
Correct answer: A white flag or cloth at least 12 inches square, attached to the chain.
Why
A chain between two cars is hard to see, and another road user who does not see it may try to pass between the cars. The connection also may not be longer than 15 feet, except for loads such as poles or pipe that cannot easily be taken apart, and it must be strong enough to pull all the weight. The 12-foot chain in this case meets the length rule.
