There are many reasons why your car may be towed immediately, before an impound order is prepared. Laws vary and the following is a partial list of examples:

  • You left the vehicle upon or on the side of the public road in a dangerous way
  • You illegally parked the vehicle on the street or in a parking space for people with disabilities without a proper license plate, card or decal
  • You left the vehicle on a highway, and it has been tagged for 24 hours
  • The vehicle's registration has been expired for 45 days and it is parked on a public stree
  • Unattended and constitutes an obstruction
  • Obstructing traffic, driver is incapacitated
  • Blocked access
  • Misuse of plates
  • Parked on/or near railroad tracks
  • Tow away zone
  • Suspected stolen vehicle or stolen parts

Your vehicle may also be towed if you are arrested or charged with any of the following:

  • driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • driving without a proper driver's license
  • driving with a suspended or revoked license
