Understanding Towing Regulations: A Simple Guide for Drivers and Towing Companies

tarafından Rechel

What Are Towing Rules and Why Do They Matter?

Let’s talk about towing laws. When a tow truck operator takes your car veya kamyon, you want to know why. Maybe it was a parking violation. Maybe you needed roadside assistance. Sometimes, it is because of an accident or if your car sat too long and became an abandoned vehicle. These things happen on private property veya public property. For drivers, knowing these rules helps you keep your car safe. For towing companies, towing regulations mean you must follow the law, treat people fairly, and avoid illegal towing.

At CLW GRUBU, we know the rules because we build trucks that help you keep safe, stay legal, and work well for everyone.

Key Ideas in Towing

Different Types of Towing

  • Consensual towing happens when you ask for help, like with a vehicle malfunction.
  • Non-consensual towing happens when you did not ask—maybe you parked in a handicapped spot veya fire lane.
  • Impoundment means your car goes to an impound lot. You must pay to get it back.
