Hahah we used to do that as kids on my uncles farm in Wisconsin. Of course the farm road going out to his property was long and desolate so we didn't worry about intersections or oncoming traffic.

2 years ago a man in Poland put his two kids on a sledge, attached it to his car and went for a little ride.
Effect: he's in a jail now and the kids are dead.

I used to tow my little cousins like this. But with top speed about 15km/h and with a sled that had rough contact surface, so they stopped quickly if I slowed down.
It was still safer than running down a hill where cars drove up
