Vehicle Recovery

[DaddyJoeBiden]

I've just had a situation where my vehicle entered water far too deep to recover, and the tow truck we called was unfortunately lost aswell..
In my old city we were able to recover our lost/unrecoverable vehicles at the impound for a fee, and maybe that could be a solution here? Having to wait til the next restart kind of sucks when you only have one vehicle etc. etc.

+1 I think this would be a really good idea.

While I can see the hassle and point of this, I do not agree with making such a change. A vehicle is a valuable asset that should be treated as one. To make a change like this would take away from the importance of protecting your car from being destroyed like so. It is one thing to impound a vehicle, but its a completely other thing to total a car. 

My suggestion would be to perhaps ask around on twitter or something to see if anyone is willing to rent out a vehicle.

I think it would benefit the night owls such as my self were I'm up form 9pm - 1pm were late at night there isn't people on to recover our cars and then we cant get them back till hours later. +1

I actually have bought a sub as a tow truck driver for this exact thing. of course its limited now to when im in city, but if/ when business applications open up, i have an application im putting in to try to implemetn a lot of the tow/ recovery ideas ive had, and to officially hire people and hopefully get more than just me the ability to pull my tow fleet out.

How did you get your car in the water in the first place? Drive safe.

soemtimes things break and you cant gain control in time? I mean, it opens opportunities for tow/ recovery guys who invested a bit more, i.e. submarines, to shine.

Personally was never a fan of the vehicle recovery when we had it implemented, theres a negative meta that comes along with it that i think outweighs any benefits. -1

Could be a potential for an insurance agent roleplay to happen?

I agree that a vehicle is a valuable asset and should be treated as one, however, when your vehicle is your means of making a living, and it just *poofs* while you are driving it, I think there should be something in place, as the citizen has no control over when aliens will decide to yoink their vehicle.
