The towing laws in California state that if towing a vehicle yourself a towed vehicle shall be coupled to the towing vehicle by means of a safety chain, cable, or equivalent device in addition to the regular drawbar, tongue, or other connection.

Also in California A tow dolly is not required to be registered but may be registered under the Permanent Trailer Identification (PTI) program.

Tow dolly operators who plan to operate their tow dollies in other states are encouraged to apply for PTI, as other states may require indicia on these specialized trailers.

Car Tow dollies include chains, straps, and brakes that will allow your car to make it to its next destination safely.

If you properly secure your vehicle and use it correctly, towing a car on a dolly is actually safer than a traditional trailer.

As for California's Towing and impound laws.
