Towing a car without a player inside

When an empty vehicle is towed, the script takes control of it so it is towed smoothly; the vehicle avoids sliding around and behaves almost as if another player were driving it.

Towing a car with a second player controlling it

When another player sits in the towed car, the two vehicles are simply connected by the rope and both players keep full control. They have to steer and brake on their own.
