New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road safety

After a crash or breakdown, what applies to a child under 12 months travelling in a tow truck?

The answer

  • They must travel in the tow truck's tray
  • They may not travel in a tow truck at all
  • They may travel, and if no suitable child car seat is available they can sit on another passenger's lap Correct
  • They must be left with police

Why that's the answer

A child under 12 months can travel in a tow truck after a crash or breakdown. If a suitable child car seat is not available they can sit on another passenger's lap, and if the tow truck has two or more rows they must sit in the back seat.
