I'll have more important things to worry about if it snows in FL!

I am at the ready this year. We don't get too much snow in KY, but when we do, people are all over the side of the road. Should be interesting...

What is this "Snow" that you speak of?

Getting sued by some ingrate is one of my concerns about towing stuck cars... but I have another legitimate concern as well: getting hit by the car you're pulling out. I can easily imagine some terrible driver being stuck, me hooking up my rope, and then "gunning it" as soon as they start to pull free of the slick stuff - end result, them ramming my Jeep!

Having said all of that, I'm not going to pass by someone stranded just because of my concerns about what MAY happen.

When I was a teenager, I was nearly stranded on a lonely side road when a freak blizzard hit CT. My little Ford Tempo wasn't any match for the 10 inches of unplowed slush on the road, and this was before cell phones were readily available... I would've been screwed if not for the kindness of some random guy who stopped his pickup truck and towed me up the icy hill. Saved me from missing my curfew that night, and probably from freezing to death!

Stop and help your fellow man/woman - you never know how much they might need your help!

I agree, thats the only reason I still pull people. Back in 1999 I was driving my 1990 crown vic stationwagon hearse in a bad snow storm. just did a pick up and was on my was back when it lost control and into a snowy ditch. heater didnt work well and that was to be fixed the following week, top it off didnt have a cell phone on me. guy in a plowtruck saw me and thankfully helped pull me out, as id prob freeze myself. since then id like to return the favor if possible.
