ABSTRACT:
Nearly everyone who drives an automobile has experienced engine failure or other problems with the transmission, cooler lines, drive shaft, differential or electrical components or has run out of gas at one time or another. The disabled car is immobilized until the driver is fortunate enough to obtain outside help to tow or push the car to a place for repair. The present invention comprises an accessory which can be carried in the vehicle trunk and which, when connected to the rear of the vehicle, will push the vehicle to safety. It comprises a motorized wheeled unit controllable from the disabled vehicle which fastens to the rear bumper or to a trailer hitch (if the vehicle has one) or to a temporary, removable type trailer hitch of the disabled vehicle and pushes it while the driver steers in a normal manner.
