Battery checked out ok...

Asked 2 Mechanic friends, they both said to check one of the fuses next.

Can anyone explain why the car is able to start when jumped but why it won't start on its own with a *working* battery?

Also: do you guys think it would be safe to jump and drive (with someone behind me - just incase) rather than towing? or should I tow it to be safe / avoid some other random problems to the dealer/mechanic?
