If the guy filming was soo displeased with the job he could've told the guy to stop and moved the car him self, it is his car after all.

Edit: Post up the other 3 parts and then it actually does look like the tow guy has no clue what he's doing. He bends the rim and practically pops the tire trying to get the car on the tow truck.

I honestly don't know why he didn't, it's only logical.
Actually, if you're not the person who shot the video, than you don't know if the owners were 90 years old with a walker or a 92 lb. girl in high heels. AND you don't know if there were keys to turn the wheels.

So Logically, the driver could push it himself out of a muddy area (assuming there WERE keys) or he could (and did) use the truck for what it's designed to do, which is lift cars.

It's called liability. If the tow truck guy says "hey move your car here" and then some how you magically screw it up and wreck your car you could sue him because he told you to move it there. The tow truck driver is covering his own ass.

No he wouldn't have, he probably would have found a different way to do it. But again, the car is scrap so why does it matter how he gets it on the flat bed?

Best explanation so far. Btw, I'm going to post the other parts as a member suggested and tell me then if he's still doing it correctly.

Yes the truck driver is doing his job correctly. The car is on a gravel parking lot and its parked next to other cars. He didn't really have an option.

My thoughts exactly.
The guy taking the video is uninformed and should've stayed out of it from the beginning.
Just let it go, Raptor.....
