The big snag is most vehicles have both power steering and brakes. One

Well it will, I don't think a vechicle that had absolutely no
steering or brakes without the engine running would be allowed on the
road.

Neither *power* steering or brakes. Didn't say no steering or brakes *at
all* Although to some it might appear just like that.


and worse, after an hour, in fog, no lights either...

It depends on what the fault is. Possibly the engine/alternator still
works.

but, strickly speaking, the towed vehicle is a trailer and would need a
"trailer" lighting bar at the back - powered from the towing one.
