Either way your taking ALOT of liability in your hands. Not only from being ticketed by a cop for not having a towing license but if you happen to screw up his or her car in the process without proper paper work and signatures they can go after you and seek damages incurred to the vehicle. Sad truth but it's the world we live in... The ONLY people I pull out are SOME friends and family only.

That piece of paper means nothing when a chain/strap breaks and hurts someone. Just don't do it, unless its family or close friends make sure they are OK first then offer to call a wrecker.
