My idea is that medics are only able to ''speed and use sirens'' when there is a heavy crash between A and B and one of the persons calls a tow.

(With a rule that [MED] only will be able to speed when they respond to a ''Heavy Crash'' call on for example : Highway 1 and they are only allowed to speed till they are on the location where the tow/medic is called

A heavy crash could be 2 cars lying on there side on the highway so caution should be on its place in time.

I had a similar idea last night after writing my last post while writing notes on how it could possibly work.

Allowing Med/Res to have priority only if the crash is causing a blockage in a dangerous place makes sense for roleplay and could be a general benefit.
So, the question then is how to implement and enforce it?


In an ideal world, the InSim would know where would be classed as dangerous and only permit the medic to have priority if the person who called the tow is actually in a dangerous place.

That would be technically possible, but the roads' physical shape would have to be manually mapped out for each layout, which will be very time consuming (and probably need custom software writing to help make it less tedious). I'm not sure exactly how efficient this would be to calculate, so doing this may or may not add significant load to the server.

Unfortunately, it isn't as simple as that (if you can even call that simple), because we must also consider what should happen if the towee gets moved into or out of a dangerous place and how this change would be effectively communicated to any medic en route. We would also need a reliable method of letting the InSim know that the tow has been completed.
