Why Might Your Car Have Been Impounded?
Here’s a rundown of common reasons why your vehicle might be enjoying an unexpected staycation:
- Parked on Private Property Without Permission: Sometimes your car just likes to explore new areas, but unfortunately, it wandered onto someone’s private property.
- Expired Parking Ticket: If you were parked in a lot where tickets are required and yours expired, your car might have received a little unplanned nap.
- Ticket Not Visible: If your parking ticket decided to play hide-and-seek and wasn’t visible, it’s possible your car got a time-out.
- No Payment for Parking: If the parking meters weren’t fed, your car might have been towed for a little unpaid vacation.
- Parked in a Fire Lane: Your car might have decided to park in a no-go zone. Fire lanes are serious business, and they’re strictly off-limits.
- Blocking a Business Gate or Dock: If your vehicle was obstructing a business gate or loading dock, it’s likely it got towed to keep things running smoothly.
