In Houston, there is a program where tow trucks are always driving around, to facilitate execution of a LAW that requires any disabled cars on major thoroughfares to be removed within 6 minutes. This has lead to the death of at least one man (lost a game of "frogger" on I-10 getting a gallon of gasoline) but it keeps traffic moving.
The other day in Austin, around 51st Street (downtown) there was a one car collision and the police shut the place down for EIGHT HOURS to "carefully" investigate a drunk driver running into a retaining wall all by herself.
Hello? Sure there were a lot of skid marks. You people never heard of a digital camera? Sort it out AT THE OFFICE man come ON! APD has a reputation for being slower than cold molasses at clearing the street for traffic subsequent to a crash. Another amusing anecdote about their slow clean-up here. Of course it doesn't help that the drivers around here STINK.
