schmidtgeorge+FollowIs it legal to tow a car that's blocking your driveway? You've had a really long day, you're tired, and all you want to do is pull into your driveway. Then you see it. Some stranger's car is sitting right there, blocking your way. First instinct is to probably just call a tow truck right away. It is illegal to block a driveway which means you can get the cops involved and usually you won't be stuck with the tow bill. But before you get totally mad about it, maybe try being polite first. Try leaving a note explaining that they are blocking your driveway. If the polite approach does not work, then it's time to call your local law enforcement. Use their main non-emergency number or 311 if you have it. They will come out and handle contacting a tow company for you. This is usually the best way because some tow companies won't even move a car unless the police have already been involved. And whatever you do, please do not try to tow the car yourself. Local police department told me it's kind of a gray area and you could get into trouble if you damage the car without the right insurance. It is always best to let the professionals handle it. #ParkingProblems #HomeownerLife #TowTruckDrama #LegalAdvice #HelpNeeded #Cars #CommunityTalk #Neighborhoods 141119Share
Vincent Perry+FollowTow Truck Drama: $3K Becomes $12K?!Ever had a parking ticket sting? Imagine a tow bill that jumps from $3,000 to $12,000 just because you warned your buddies to move their trucks! That’s what happened to a small trucking company in North Carolina. The tow company claimed the price hike was for 'lost business' after the driver tipped off others. Lesson learned: those 'no parking' signs aren’t just for show—ignore them and you might end up with a wallet-busting surprise. #truckinglife #towtruckdrama #moneymoves #Business110Share
Michael Smith+FollowTowed Cars, Missing Tow Guy & Total ChaosImagine parking in an empty lot, only to have your car towed with zero warning signs—then tracking down the tow company, but the owner’s nowhere to be found (he got arrested, btw). Drivers in Omaha had to wait hours (or days!) to get their cars back, all because the lot was abandoned and the tow yard was a mess. PSA: Always check for hidden signs and know your rights if your car vanishes! #TowTruckDrama #ParkingNightmare #CarTroubles #Transportation241Share
