trivia

1. First roadside assistance: Roadside assistance has a long history, dating back even to ancient times. In ancient Rome, there was an organization called the "Societas Rediviva" that repaired and transported damaged vehicles.
2. Automobile societies: Many automotive societies, such as AAA in the United States and ADAC in Germany, not only offer roadside assistance services, but also provide support to drivers on safety, maintenance and other automotive-related aspects.
3. Winter challenges: Roadside assistance services often have more work to do in the winter, especially in areas with harsh weather conditions, due to accidents, battery failures and the difficulty of driving on slippery roads.
4. Modern technologies: Today's roadside assistance uses modern technology, such as GPS systems, to quickly locate the site of an accident and monitor the fleet of roadside assistance vehicles.
5. Towing of specialized vehicles: Roadside assistance includes not only passenger cars, but also trucks, buses, motorcycles and other vehicles. Towing trucks and other large vehicles requires specialized equipment.
6. Record cases of roadside assistance: Sometimes there are unusual roadside assistance cases, such as extracting forgotten items from cars that are locked. In some countries, roadside assistance companies even have to deal with unusual "emergencies," such as extracting animals trapped in cars.
7. Free services for some drivers: In some regions or for certain groups of drivers, such as the elderly or disabled, roadside assistance services may be available free of charge or at a lower cost.
8. Help for cyclists: Some roadside assistance companies also offer support for cyclists, for example, in case of a broken chain or tire problems.
9. Challenges on highways: Roadside assistance on highways can be more difficult due to limited breakdown space and higher traffic speeds. In some countries, special vehicles with flashing lights protect the breakdown area.
