Tow ropes are legal.
Poles have benefits but the clue was in the words you gave. FOR EMERGENCIES. if you break down you call the AA or whoever, you don't tow your own car in to the garage. Emergencies could be something like happened to me the other week. Sister in law beached her car on a rock just off the side of the road when parking. Me with a tow rope pulled it clear. I doubt a pole would have been log enough to allow me to remain on the grippy Tarmac rather than the sloppy mud!
