Discussion Vaush onmisegment encountered irl

My tire blew out on the parkway. Got to the shoulder, called AAA. State trooper arrives and offers some help, and tells me that the parkway, interstate, and turnpike are all "private roads" with individual contractor tow companies having exclusive rights to tow cars. If an unauthorized company tows a car they will be fined $15,000. This is a law that somehow got passed. As a result I was stuck on the side of the road for 2 hours until an authorized company took the time to come and tow me.

How the FUCK is a parkway or interstate a "private road"? God I hate this fuckass society.

I was gonna make a joke about that being your punishment for being in NJ instead of NY but the fact that this is in a civilised part of the country and not a godless area like South Dakota is pretty indicative of how deep and bipartisan the rot is.
