It would be a safety hazard if it prevented you from shifting into neutral, for situations like this. Tow truck would have needed to put it in neutral as well
Tow trucks dont have to. If they cant tow it on a free axle, they'll just use dollys.
Sometimes but many cars also have a shift lock override that allows you to drop it in neutral, usually a small slot near the shifter knob the key will fit into. Dollys are only good for short distance and sometimes you need to get it on a bed.
