Can you tow a vehicle with no brakes

Yes because it’s a solid bar the vehicle towing is the braking force

Do you need a driver in towed car

Yes,without doubt as it only connects to the towed vehicle’s towing eye. Someone has to steer it!

Can you use without tow hitch if/when you want to? Does it come with 2 D rings?

This only comes with one D ring, so the lead vehicle must have a towbar fitted.
