Find out about free towing (emergency towing) services on highways
If a problem occurs while driving a car on the highway and it gets stuck in the middle of the road, a wreck car called a bully on the road will appear running somewhere. How did they get to the scene so quickly? In most cases, it is possible to arrive at a broken car at high speed by tapping radios related to public affairs such as the police or fire department, but if an accident occurs in a short distance, they are the first to arrive and tow the broken car without hesitation.
In the event of a sudden accident, the person’s circuit is not able to maintain composure and is dragged by people (?) who cut their teeth. If you have a normal accident, refuse to tow the wreck car and tow it through the company you have contracted with. service will be called. If the service is not left free, it may not be necessary to do so on the expressway, because each expressway provides free towing (emergency towing) service.
However, in order to get towed on the highway, several conditions are required. The conditions are as follows.
– The vehicle must be immobile
– Free towing service available up to 10km
– Vehicles subject to free towing are limited to passenger cars, vans with 16 passengers or less, and trucks with 1.4 tons or less.
First of all, the first and foremost condition is, of course, that the car must be immobile, right? When applying for free towing service, a vehicle arrives from the nearest place and is towed, and it is moved to a safe area such as a nearby rest area or business office. The free towing service is provided free of charge up to 10 km, and a fee of 2,000 won per km is charged after 10 km.
In addition, vehicles subject to free towing are limited to general passenger vehicles, vans with 16 passengers or less, and freight vehicles with a weight of 1.4 tons or less. I think most vehicles are subject to free towing.
