A vehicle with faulty brakes must be towed using what?

Using a tow-bar is the appropriate method for towing a vehicle with faulty brakes because it provides a more stable and controlled towing experience compared to other options. A tow-bar is designed to securely attach the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle, allowing for easier steering and reducing the risk of swaying or instability during transport, especially when dealing with a vehicle that may not have functioning brakes.

It is important to note that while a flatbed truck can also be a safe option, it typically involves transporting the entire vehicle off the ground rather than towing it. This makes it less a matter of "towing" in the traditional sense. A tow-rope, while it can be used to pull vehicles, does not offer the security and control required for a safe towing operation, especially if the towed vehicle has brake issues. Similarly, using a trailer implies that the vehicle is completely loaded onto a separate platform, which is not applicable to the scenario of towing a malfunctioning vehicle directly.
