> I guess your tow truck drivers are more respectable than ours that cloned police’s pricey “encrypted” radios to get to accidents faster, charged insurecos hundreds for the tow, would add damage to cars and bring them to sketchy repair shops:
In my country the insurance company has a list of approved garages and sets the price. Nobody is going to pay a tow truck for preemtively moving a car, they might arrest them for taking without consent.
If a car really needs a tow for safety purposes, the police will organise that based on their pre-existing contracts and paid for a known price (by the insurance company, or the car owner)
If the car is abandoned the council will eventually shift it and claim the cost back as littering
If the car is safe though it's upto the owner to contact their insurance company and arrange for them to come out and shift it.
Multiple companies racing to the scene sounds like something from the 1800s with fire brigades sabotaging each other.
