CVC 22651

A

Towed and impounded

Parking in handicapped spots without proper plates or tags. Disabled parking is very limited in most public parking lots. Simply ticketing the car does not create more space for disabled drivers. So traffic officers often elect to tow these cars.

The driver is arrested. This typically occurs following:
A DUI. Drag racing (23109 VC). Or traffic stops where police see contraband in the car or find an active warrant for the driver.1

Blocked flow of traffic. This is when a parked car obstructs the free flow of traffic. Or presents a safety risk.2

Car accident. The person driving may be hospitalized. Or otherwise too injured or incapacitated to drive.3

No registration. Even legally parked cars can get towed for: Missing license plates. No registration. Registration that was more than six (6) months expired. Or fake or forged vehicle registration and/or plates.4

No license. When a driver of the vehicle gets caught driving without a valid driver’s license (12500 VC) or driving on a suspended license (14601.1(a)).5

Debt collection for past parking tickets. Even a lawfully parked automobile can get towed if: The owner has at least five unpaid parking citations. Or the owner failed to pay a municipal garage parking fee.6

72-hour ordinance. Some local laws require automobiles to be towed that are left parked for at least 72 consecutive hours.7

Unlicensed car dealers. Cars being offered for sale by an unlicensed dealer get towed.8
