Yes, as long as person in the vehicle being towed can operate the brakes, it complies.

It's still not an emergency recovery, though, is it?

It is not, but what piece of legislation does it say it needs to be? The only reference I could find was regarding the highway code in which one can tow to a safe place such as the nearest exit or a refuge area

You'll find that breakdown providers don't take kindly to being used as a taxi service for previously-broken vehicles.

I'm sure no insurance company likes to fork out in case of an accident either. Pretty similar case here.At the end of the day I'm paying for a service which I may or not use and in all likelihood will only use for the ocasion, so I'm not particularly causing them a loss or breaking their T's and C's?

The breakdown cover on my insurance policy states that is available to use straight away, luckily never had to use it

And that person is a fully qualified driver as well

Good news everyone.
I managed to get a local garage that did the service for £35, so all taken care of and no hassles. Thank you all for the advice :beer:
