Towing is regulated at the state and city level, and the protections are stronger than most drivers realize. Commonly: non-consent tow rates are capped or must be published, you can't be towed from private property unless signage meets local rules, you have the right to an itemized invoice, and many jurisdictions require operators to accept card payment and release personal property from the vehicle. If a charge looks wrong, ask for the itemized invoice first and escalate to the state or city agency that licenses towing.
If you break down on the interstate: get as far onto the shoulder as possible, hazards on, exit on the passenger side and stand well away behind the barrier. Never accept a tow from a truck that shows up unsolicited at a collision - you choose your operator and your destination, and 'accident chasers' are exactly what towing regulations exist to stop.
Nor'easters and lake-effect bands can shut down interstates with little warning. Check your state's 511 service before winter travel and keep a charged phone - response times in a storm stretch from minutes to hours.
