Tow/Res/Med training

[vito212223]

Hello to everyone in the community!

My name is Viktor, but most of you will know me as “Vile” from the server.

In the past few weeks I have been spectating tows, rescuers and meds in the server, and to be honest I was left a bit shocked. I will not point out nicknames, but a big part of those players which participate in this kind of RP are doing a lot of things wrong. I will give one example from the past weekend: A car is flipped on the autobahn, tow/res/med is called with danger (props to the user for calling out danger). Services arrive and their decision was to “winch” the car on the autobahn, where other players where flying by and crashing into the RP-ing players. No Hazard sign was called on, even caution was off. The task was simple: Push the car to the grass and winch in there. If you are lucky enough, the car would flip on it’s wheels and the issue would be resolved.

My suggestion is the current: Training with practical exam of some form for TOW/RES/MED. Situations like the one described could be easily avoided.

If the following idea and suggestion go through, I would have no problem “training” players who want to join the RP scene as an Emergency Service.

Thank you for your time spent reading!
Best regards and happy holidays to everyone!

There are basic rules/manual, and ideally people with jobs like COP/RES/MED/TOW have to follow that. If they decide otherwise then thats on them. You could almost say that it's part of the culture around here. For instance, I just got overtaken via the hardshoulder/emergencylane on the autobahn by a RES who was not on a call, as far as I could see. He could have easily passed via the right, correct side. It's not professional, and he should behave better, ideally. It would be nice if people (especially "goverment/officials" like COP/RES/MED) took their job abit more serious, but for now this is just how it is.

If those practical training sessions would exist, TC would have to create a team to lead said trainings. I say this because a Police Training team already exists, so it'd be obvious to create one for MED/RES/TOW. Also the way TOW operates are different than MED/RES, so... maybe two separate teams?

But on the other side of things - this is not the first time that a topic like this is suggested. And quoting KaraK in one of this posts on a thread that its main topic was to suggest this type of training:

I'm afraid you don't understand how demanding it is to keep the Training Team running, just for cop training alone.

And another quote from BP from the same thread:

Something to look into.

I am not writing some extensive feedback on this because other people have already written in the past in which I 100% agree.

I think some simple guidance would be enough to help most people who are new to the TOW/MED/RES role. Whether this comes from experienced people online or additional information in the online guides.

Currently there isn't any information about the best way to physically help broken down or crashed cars. I think a short video outlining the basics of safely pushing or flipping a car, as well as working safely would be a great addition to the guidelines.

To me the situation you have outline seems to be more an issue of common sense and approaching the task from different angles. Both !winching the car in situ and moving the car first to a safer area are not wrong but it all comes down to the judgement of who turns up on scene.

Why tow if you can ram?
