Special VFR is voluntary for the controller, obviously if there is an in coming IFR they're not going to let you in. AlsoVFR pilots should only be using this procedure under extraordinary circumstances. If you need to use special VFR you probably didn't plan right. However in an emergency such as deteriorating weather SVFR is nice to have. Day you have to remain clear of clouds and night you need instrument rating for a special VFR.
