Towing ...

[Kostas]

Devin is saying that it has been changed. Entering any other vehicle other than your truck whilst carrying cargo, and it'll be lost.

Or at least that's what I understood from his post.

That's stupid ... do you mean that I will have to walk or carsurf because I managed to flip my truck with a 4k cargo?

I had the same opinion as you, but then when u think about it, when u flip your truck that should be instant losing of cargo. It will make trucking abit harder, and we must admit its abit easy to make cash like that.

If people drove responsibly perhaps their trucks would not get destroyed or tipped over?

You could hire a mechanic to tow it from somewhere to you, or to bring it onto its wheels if it's still intact.

[Kostas]

It's still a damage to the truckers that I don't find needed. Anyway, guess that's life.

Indeed, truckers should drive properly, not really a script manner.

What is the point on going full speed with a truck and trailer in a high populated area?

Then you will not flip it, if you keep a good driving, not a retarded one.

They shouldn't go full speed around corners on bridges, too many trailers have swam with the dolphins

Please consider if there should be an exception for Towtruck owners and group towtrucks to this new update about only mechanics can tow.

Edit:  Police officers can not tow vehicles.
sickening...

Come on lads...

Police officers have no need to tow... they call a mechanic to tow!
IRL police dont even tow, they contract out to companies that can !

Impound divison... ok....

How would that work? Impounding state vehicles is unnecessary and completely useless. However, impounding player vehicles would be script abuse as the officer would be towing vehicles that he would normally not be able to drive. So the only option would be to add an exception but I'm afraid that players will abuse that power as well unless it would be an official division like the SWAT or Air Division.

I do not like how this script update is limiting possibilities.

Ban retards.
Come up with other ways to stop it, but don't limit possibilities.

It is sensible for police to tow their own vehicles if they choose to.
Either pay police a wage to go and pay the mechanics or give the SAPD Chief a budget to work under to accomplish what you expect of it (as in hiring a tow truck company).

I as police would not see it as good idea to just let unlicensed, un contracted  civilians tow emergency vehicles. I know of no contract given to any trucker or trucker corp/ cmpany from ARPD or EMS or FD.

I really hope this is not a permanent fix... Retards can still be retards whilst mechanic...
Cops should be allowed to tow vehicles!

Let me bloody tow vehicles with my privately owned towtruck... I did not commit the abuse in question. Why am I being punished... Privately owned towtrucks and group towtrucks should be an exception!

Is the SAPD going to fund it?
Because police do not get paid enough to just dish out money...

$500 a jail.. which could be several days.
Patrolling and responding to 911's and it turns out to be not so serious.

Responding to a fire to protect roads, what do police get? nothing.
Whilst it's expected for the mechanics / towers to get a pay whilst the police do not get paid for what they do, they have to pay for basics like armour...

Why don't we just make a scripted job of towtruckers, if a car is on the road for more than 15minutes, you will get a "mission" to take it from there to the hanger and the owner of it have to pay a ticket to take it back (or just respawn lol).
That will avoid these turds abusing the script for their own fun and make people get little money from another scripted job..

Script that is constantly detecting where each vehicle is at every second, for 15 minutes at a time. If it moves just an inch (car rams into it),... No...

Since when police don't tow cars ? IRL they always have their own  tow trucks.
