Even in an unavoidable case such as a breakdown, towing is never permitted with a vehicle that lacks towing equipment.

故障などでやむを得ない場合であっても、牽引用の構造・装置を持たない自動車で他の車を牽引することは一切認められていない。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

The law includes an exception: when towing is unavoidable due to a breakdown or similar reason and is done in the prescribed way (such as keeping the tow rope within the set length), the restriction does not apply. So it is not banned outright.
