No, once the vehicle is being towed the owner will have to wait until it has reached its destination. This could be either an impound lot or a repair shop.
You can have it towed at the owner's expense (meaning you can call a towing company and it will come and tow the vehicle. The owner, if he wants the vehicle, then needs to go to the towing company and reclaim the vehicle by paying the towing and storage fees).
if the towed vehicle is not taken back by the owner then the vehicle is actioned.

generally they have ten days
There are a couple of factors here. The towing company can't sell the vehicle while the trial is pending... it's evidence, after all. However, after the trial, if the owner of the vehicle does not pick it up in a timely fashion, the towing company is permitted to sell it after making a good-faith effort to notify the owner.
According to the Owner Guide ( page 169 ) your vehicle is capable of towing a trailer up to 1000 pounds with a tongue weight of 100 pounds

If you no longer owe on the car and own it free and clear then it's your choice. You can pick it from the towing company or not. After a period of time, the towing company will place a lien on the vehicle and take ownership. If you still owe money on the car then you have a contractual responsibility to protect the vehicle from liens and you will still be responsible to pay what you owe to the finance company.
Laws for traffic violations are specific to a state or municipality. A general rule of thumb is that moving violations, from speeding to driving without a license is the driver's responsibility; vehicle violations, such as invalid registration, liability in an accident, illegal parking and towing fees, are the responsibility of the vehicle owner. In the case of an accident, the driver is responsible for the traffic violations, the vehicle owner is responsible for the damages. In most jurisdictions, the vehicle owner can sue the driver in a civil action for costs incurred to the owner by the driver of the vehicle. Be careful who you allow to drive your car.
In the state of washington, Whoevers name the vehicle is still under is liable for all the towing and storage charges, no matter if you sold the vehicle , it is your responsibility to report it sold 5 days from the date you sold it. On the other hand, if the new owner does not transfer the title, but its reported sold properly, then when ever the towing company runs the VIN# of the vehicle it will show its been reported sold with the information of the new owner and all charges would go to the new owner, otherwise you are liable for all the charges because its still under your name.
As far as I understand it you cannot sell any motor vehicle to an automotive dealership without the title. Also if the vehicle is not titled in your name the said individual seen on the title would need to be present. The process to getting a title for your vehicle if it has been lost is simple as long as you are the registered owner of the vehicle. The process for acquiring a replacement title is called bonding the title. If you are not the owner on the title the same "bonding" applies it just requires you to get the previous owner of the vehicle involved in the process with a proper bill of sale and or other means of proof that you have taken "ownership" of the vehicle.
