Which of the following is NOT a precaution to take when towing?

When towing, it is essential to prioritize safety and follow best practices to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all involved. Riding in the towed vehicle is inappropriate because it poses significant safety risks. The person in the towed vehicle is not secured properly, it can distract the driver of the tow truck, and, in the event of an accident, the individual could be seriously injured.

In contrast, using cones, wearing visible clothing, and ensuring crew safety first are all standard precautions that enhance visibility, maintain awareness of surroundings, and prioritize the safety of both the tow truck operator and any crew members involved in the towing process. Each of these precautions contributes to a safer towing operation and avoids potential hazards on the road.
