Towing a dangerous vehicle with a rope would certainly be illegal.

I meant towing with the vehicle on the back of a truck. Is there another word other than "towing" used to describe this? Is it suspended tow?

"Towing" as in the American sense of the word then? On the back of a dedicated vehicle I'd call "recovery". Suspended tow as in the way a vehicle with a crane on it would lift the front wheels (or rears I suppose?) and tow it with the rear (or front - more difficult this way) wheels on the road or on "Tow Boy" dolly wheels. This being much more like the American way although they have some pretty fancy custom towing rigs which can uplift a vehicle in just a couple of minutes and make off with it - much "loved" by those doing repossessions.
