What is the maximum distance allowed between two vehicles when towing?

The maximum distance allowed between two vehicles when towing is 4 metres. This distance is important for safety reasons, as it ensures that the vehicles remain connected and reduces the risk of swaying or instability during towing. If the distance between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle is too great, it can result in difficulty controlling the towed vehicle, potentially leading to accidents. Additionally, maintaining the correct spacing helps other road users gauge the size of the towing unit and allows for safe passage around the vehicles.
