I'm not sure which should be better. Of course it would be much nicer if you are on a specific team/language channel, to have a separate chat for TOW units.

That's not a practical solution really, everyone has team channels etc they are in so leaving those would be annoying every time you MED/TOW or RES

Only problem is useless people just pushing and ramming the cars to even more dangerous places, or even OOB. But every civilian should be allowed to at least attempt to tow someone on their roof/side, unless the user doesn't want them to help. In that case, user would say "Do not help me" to the civilian trying to tow him, if he continues, and the situation ends up worse than it started, admin action should be taken place if the towed user wishes so.

I have had situations where I have arrived on scene to find a civilian towing the flipped car but when i asked them nicely to move along, they have either not responded or begun questioning why. It's not so much the idea that MED/RED/TOW should be the only one allowed to help but more the fact that even when we arrive sometimes people still interfere.

MED/RES had the ability to !caution before the update however they now have the !hazard function too

I like that suggestion, what may also be cool along with that would be a system where in only 1 medic can "respond" (Insim respond) to a call and can request additional help from other medics much like the cop system.
