The right answer: To a fixed part of the car, or to the eye on the tow bar (trekhaak) that is there for it
The breakaway cable must be connected to a fixed part of the car or to a fitting on the tow bar (trekhaak) that is meant for it, so that it only comes into action when the coupling (koppeling) comes loose.
