When can a vehicle be towed without consent from the owner?
There are some scenarios where it is legally permitted to tow a vehicle without getting consent from the owner. While this can cause significant frustration for car owners, there are well-established reasons for this, and it is often related to safety concerns. Here are some of the situations where a vehicle can be towed without approval from the owner.
Especially while trying to find parking on downtown streets, you’ll want to pay close attention to what the signs are saying about parking. In the event that you park in a tow-away zone, a tow truck will likely be there in short order to haul off your car. Vehicles are often towed from tow-away zones at fire hydrants and emergency vehicle parking areas.
Whether you’re blocking the driveway of a home or business, this can get you towed in little time. You might not even be fully blocking the driveway access, but the owner could still have you towed. There’s also a good chance of getting towed if you’re at all impeding a pedestrian pathway.
If you get arrested for intoxicated driving in either Kansas or Missouri, your vehicle may subsequently be impounded.
If your car stalls out and you abandon it on the shoulder, there’s a chance that a police officer will have it towed. An officer might also have your vehicle towed if you get pulled over and they decide that your car isn’t safely operable and poses a risk to yourself and/or other drivers.
