So with the introduction of mods on the servers, I started to think about a potential for TOW recoveries for the more severe accidents which deem your car completely immobilized/undriveable.

My idea is this...
For a fee which is transferred to the TOWee, the individual stuck can opt for a more premium service (price varies depending on distance to nearest SZ). This more 'premium service' comes in the form of simply a spawnable safe zone which spawns behind the TOWs vehicle which only the payee is able to use. This gives TOWs an opportunity to start making some money since their services are more or less free and only funded by donations at the choice of the person who needs help. This does seem a bit 'too easy' in a way, but at the same time it does feel like to me it will solve the headache of trying to push an immobilized potato around a heavily occupied layout. Also of course if someone is too impatient and just wants to get back out driving without sacrificing their trip!

I did think that this would likely be abused, but a simple way of avoiding this is to maybe have a cooldown of around 10-30 minutes before the individual can use this feature again? And potentially only allow actual tow trucks/low loader trucks to have access to this.

I'd like to see anyone else's input on this too
