    [Stopping distance at 70 is 450 feet, at 60 it is 285 feet. Average car at 60 is 120 feet.

    What’s the hurry?]

    I agree. 60 is our personal targeted cruising speed.

    It seems to me roadside assistance’s primary “value” is getting you connected to a local service/tow company. This had some value last century with limited connectivity and no Internet across the country. But is it still true today?

    Couldn’t you just search for 24/7 truck towing or whatever you are looking for when you need them? It would allow to make sure they have the right equipment and experience vs explaining all that to a minimum wage call center employee.

    I have had Good Sam for the last 7 years but thankfully never needed to use them. I always wondered if I should just rely on my phone and credit card.
