Brief Summary:
Allow people to mark vehicles to be towed so that it can be loaded onto the back of a mechanic truck
Detailed Suggestion:
Currently for a vehicle to be loaded onto the back of the flatbed mechanic truck it must be marked for impound by police, this means if someones vehicle has broken down, is having issues with refuelling/is out of fuel or is stuck it is impossible to load it without having police add the vehicle to the impound list, in some cases it will be marked by police attracting mechanics thinking its an impound job when it isn't.
What I suggest is that if someone has been in the driver seat of a vehicle, (suggesting that they're either the owner or someone whos broken in) is then able to prepare the car for towing either through caps lock interaction or with the eye, you could say this would be preparing things like towing cables/hooks and insuring everything is secured and safe. This will take a short period of time with an animation and then the vehicle will be effectively 'on an impound list' so it can then be loaded onto the mechanic truck by mechanics. Mechanics wouldn't get a notification when its on this list and the owner would still need to send a dispatch asking for help.
The Pros:
The Cons:
Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?
I don't think this will change any balance on the server other then attracting more people to the mechanic role and possibly encouraging civilian jobs as there will be more use in it.

The Pros:
- Allows for more mechanic RP to take place as vehicles can then be transported around or to mechanic shops
- Still prevents mechanics from just driving around loading up random peoples cars
- Stops vehicles being added to the impound list when they just need assistance
The Cons:
- Allows car thieves to hide more easily as they might just look like mechanics
