......
If a rope was allowed to be used and it snapped and caused a multi pile up and loss of life then, in this litigaous age, would you, as the surviving relative, quietly say that they were just trying to get a job done?  Dont think so....

I thought you were allowed to use a rope to the next junction.  :-/ And were able to use a rigid bar for a far as you wanted.  :-/

I understand you can use a rigid bar but, this would require insurance and tax on the towed vehicle and somebody behind the wheel!

Correct, and even then it'd be too heavy to tow with an Omega (unless the car's significantly lighter than an Omega).
