This sometimes acts as a safety net for consumers. In stead of letting tow companies do whatever they want, to the financial detriment of vehicle owners; certain rules are in place. Some rules provide that the equipment used must be in certain condition. Some rules cover the manner in which a vehicle must be handled as to prevent possible damage to the vehicle.
Tow truck drivers, and their owners really to not like being caught breaking these rules because there is a chance that they could lose their permit to do business and with it their revenue. This is one good reason why they become SO outraged when anyone even attempts to document their actions. I have even heard operators claim that it is illegal for them to be videotaped or photographed. The logic baffles my mind. As long as the documenting party is not threatening or interfering with the operator, why would it be an issue. Perhaps, they just do not want to be caught breaking the law.
Yup, that’s probably what it comes down to.

(It’s been so long since I wrote this…!) I searched and did not find k4 in it.

Probably “k4K2tog” would mean what you think it means. It would be better written as “K4, K2tog” to be clearer. But this pattern has “K2, K2tog” and “K1, K2tog” instead. (At least, the second version of the pattern does.)

I’d love to make 6 of these for our immediate family…all adult size. BUT, I am not sure of the “k4K2tog” term. Is that “knit 4 stitches then knit 2 stitches together”? thus making each row two stitches shorter? Is there a site you can recommend that would explain abbreviations and have tutorials for us beginners? Thanks so muchg for sharing this pattern and for any additional help you can give. I hope I can make these.
