The town was planned around distance. Long boulevards, sweeping roundabouts and estates spread out from the centre, which is pleasant to drive and unhelpful when a car will not move. At two in the morning that means the nearest anything is a proper journey away, and there is no version of walking it. It also means describing where you are takes a little care, because one stretch of boulevard looks much like another once the shops are shut.
Vans are out all night over the whole town, from Panshanger over to Sherrards and out to the business parks. When you ring, give the road and the nearest roundabout by name rather than a general area, and mention whether you are in a car park and on which level. The van arrives with its own lighting, which matters on the wider roads where the lamps are set well back, and the equipment for either a mend or a new tyre beside the car. Nothing needs moving, nothing waits for morning, and the price is the same as the middle of the day.
Christmas Day, New Year, Easter Monday: the days when absolutely nothing is open are the days a tyre picks. It runs 365 days a year across Hertfordshire, bank holidays included, at whatever hour the call comes in. Blocked drive in Panshanger? Open kerb in Hatfield Hyde? Either works. Which street in Handside, which way the car sits in Peartree, and we are set.

Welwyn Garden City's grand planning means distance is built into every journey, so a car that cannot be driven at two in the morning leaves you genuinely stranded rather than mildly inconvenienced. There is no walking to the next thing. A single call sends the van to the driveway, the station car park or whichever stretch of boulevard you managed to reach.
A call from a boulevard at one in the morning that gave the nearest roundabout and the direction. On roads that run for a long way between landmarks, that is what makes the difference.
A commuter returning very late to find a flat. We came to the bay rather than leaving the car there overnight and creating a second problem.
A vehicle on a wide avenue in Handside where the street lighting was some distance from the kerb. Our own lamps made the inspection possible rather than approximate.
The road plus the nearest roundabout by name, and a direction. In a car park, give the level and row. General areas are hard to search on roads this long.
Yes, from Panshanger and Peartree across to Handside and Sherrards, plus the business parks and the A1(M) approaches, every night of the year.
Yes, purpose made lighting rather than headlights. On the wider avenues the street lighting sits well back and gives you very little at the kerb.
No. The same price at any hour, quoted before the van sets off.
