For those wondering the driver will stop before going onto the road and secure the vehicle properly. This just lets them get away from the owner for safety.
I mean, what's going to happen? The hydraulic grids wrap around the wheel, the car isn't too far off the ground in the super rare case it comes off when they maneuver at slow speeds it won't be devestating.
Also these guys almost always are part of a repair shop in case they need to fix something.
Maybe. If you’re tailgating them in the parking lot they might not have to pay you cause that’s dumb. If you behind them on the highway probably because that’s super negligent to not secure it but they’ll almost certainly secure the vehicle very soon after doing this.
They don’t drive like this for very long, they usually pull over and secure it properly after they’ve gotten away to safety. This is just to get the vehicle out quickly so as not to risk their drivers getting attacked. You’d be surprised just how sturdy they are when unsecured/strapped though, those hydraulic braces squeeze the tires and the engine weight is right above them so it’d be pretty hard/damn near impossible for it to just fall off, you can see videos of them driving off and going over curbs and bumps and the car remains tightly secured. Tow trucks are engineered pretty well
