4. Neither driver violates the rules.

Problem Analysis

On the road, the bus driver is towing a yellow car, and the driver of the green car is towing a motorcycle with a sidecar.

Let's read point 23.10 of the Traffic Rules:

'Towing is prohibited:

• if the actual weight of the towed vehicle with a faulty brake system (or in the absence of one) exceeds half of the actual weight of the towing vehicle;
• on a flexible coupling during icy conditions;
• if the total length of the connected vehicles exceeds 22 m (30 m for public transport vehicles);
• motorcycles without sidecars, as well as such motorcycles, mopeds or bicycles;
• more than one vehicle (except those cases where the towing of two or more vehicles is agreed upon with the authorized unit of the National Police) or a vehicle with a trailer;
• buses.

Therefore, only the bus driver violates the rules.
