Amazing How A LIttle Weather Can Change Things

I read story after story of complaints by the public about towing fees, corrupt wrecker companies, unfeeling tow companies and the like. Some are true, but the vast majority of towing operators HELP the public and at great risk. Those perceptions are quickly removed at the onset of dangerous winter precipitation.

I saw an article (link below) about a towing company that is fielding so many dangerous weather calls that they only have time to respond to the police calls. Basically they are working non stop in the risky weather and are critical to the public.

I have said it time and time again. The public loves the benefit provided when it is convenient but quickly forgets in normal daily life. I guess it is just human nature.

Interesting tip on towing electric cars versus gasoline

Image via WikipediaFabulous creations that electric cars are, they're still machines designed by mere mortals and as a result, they may occasionally go wrong.

As they're operated by mere mortals too, you may find one time that you're unable to reach your destination on a charge thanks to a miscalculation, or you've parked somewhere you probably shouldn't have. In such scenarios, you'll need to have your car towed to somewhere more appropriate.

Only sometimes, you shouldn't have it towed.

Some electric cars, unlike their gasoline or diesel counterparts, don't have a neutral position in the transmission. They can go forwards or backwards, but when they're not doing either the motor is still connected to the wheels - it just doesn't have any power driving it.
