Things I learned today by eavesdropping on a tow truck driver helping my neighbor.

If your car is the kind (of older VW, e.g.) that disables the ignition when the seatbelt isn't fastened, make sure to fasten the seatbelt before you call a tow truck to have the car jumped. There was no health risk to the driver, apart from the effects of stress, but when we finally figured out why the car wasn't starting, he posed an non-insignificant health risk to us.
