Tow Me Away

I don't know why I found this tow truck so fascinating. I had to take a pic of it (let alone share it). But me and Aurora found this truck to be very monstrous-transformer-ish in a way. It was cool to see the car getting knocked about as it lifts it in mid air and plunks it down on it's flat bed! The car sways as it's suspended (which can't be good, I bet). Why do you think this country uses this kind of tow truck? Why doesn't it just drag it along like it does in the USA and Mexico? I wonder? Maybe the streets are too narrow and the parked cars to tightly packed in. Things that make you go hmmmm....
