Car being towed in Parking Gear P , is it alright?

[Civictyper2014]

Hi guys,

My car is a front wheel drive toyota harrier , today my starter failed so i had to call AA to come to tow my car. we engaged Neutral to move the car to the fork . and i guess after attached the fork to the front wheels, the tow driver then engaged to Parking gear but he left the hand brake down. later when we arrive to the workshop. i realised that that the gear was shifted to parking mode. I was fraid it might damaged the brakes or even the gear.I asked the tow driver he claimed that it is okay becos the foot brake is not engaged and the front wheels are off the ground when they tow to the workshop. does anyone have any advice on this?

When its in P, the front wheels are correctly as stated are off the ground. No issue there.

 

Worry not.

Front are off the ground, so in P doesn't matter. Handbrake is disengaged, rear wheels spins freely. So yes, it's ok.

It's Ok bro. Otherwise, your car will produce a loud grinding noise while towing. Usually those tow truck uncles are very season liao.
