After years of towing cars in my youth, my friends and I could always anticipate each other's moves and it always went smoothly, just did it a few days ago towing the Vanagon FrankenSyncro across town.
at my boss's garage, whenever we had to tow a vehicle, the tow vehicle used hand signals to alert the guy in the towed vehicle to use the brakes.
