Yet another example of lack of common sense more than anything. Sounds like the people in the call center need re-training..... as litter pickers. If they couldn't use their brains and seek further advice from their line managers then the lot of them need a good kick up the backside.

Should have been with the RAC (they cover the car rather than the person).

I know that this isn't in the best taste but for some reason I find this whole scenario really funny 
(btw, My condolences to his family)

Green flag tried to refuse me service once because my car was to heavy. They ended up waving the white flag instead.

Sounds like a case of outsourcing the call centre and people not engaging their brains before opening their mouths.

Which means if you're in a friend's car when it breaks down and if they don't have cover you can't call on them.
There's advantages and disadvantages to both schemes. Maybe the answer is to be with both?
