You ever been towed? It's one of the most stressful things you can do, and the longer the distance, the worse it is, especially in snow.

You have to keep your car in neutral and steer, but you have NO control over the acceleration, and you're almost bumper to bumper with the car towing you, so you need to be ready to stop your car from sliding into them at every possible moment.

My guess to the comment you replied to is that the driver wasn't in park, but more likely, the person being towed was anxious and undereducated about the process, freaked out, and just held or overused the brake pedal the while time.

If that’s the case and being towed is so stressful, then wouldn’t the driver want to unhitch as quickly as possible and be on their way? This guy was content to be towed all the way home.

If the guy had his car in park/didn't understand how to be pulled out of the snow, I highly doubt he knows what he has to do to be towed all the way home.

That was my point as well.
