Cars are impounded for several reasons, including cases when someone has stolen the car or a creditor has repossessed it. However, the presenter mentions that impound services may get involved for other reasons. For instance, a person can have their car towed away if they park in the wrong spot.
Some people may see that “tow away” sign and ignore it.
Perhaps no one thinks that they’re the ones whose vehicle will be towed. However, it does happen. The expert carries on, revealing other unexpected happenings that could occur. One of these examples makes reference to a person just buying a vehicle off the lot that got impounded.
A frequent cause of impounds is no insurance. Sometimes, people just put it off a little too long. Then, the police get involved in their lives, and the next thing they know, their vehicles are locked up in “car jail,” otherwise known as “the impound lot.”
Needless to say, the speaker preaches a little bit about what type of car insurance to get. However, he also elaborates on how to get the vehicle back. It’s not easy.
It usually involves more money than a person would want to pay, as the charges add up daily. In the case that the driver is not at fault, Mark explains the “police release” option. Otherwise, proof of ownership, insurance, and other documents are required before getting the car back.
