Indiana Laws for Towing and Being Towed<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Here in Indiana, if you are a licensed driver, you have officially\nconsented all terms and conditions that come into play if you were to violate a\nstate or federal traffic offense. When it comes towing, these same conditions\napply to all drivers; if you park a vehicle in a spot it shouldn\u2019t be, you have\nsurrendered to the possible penalties, which include ticketing and towing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of July 2011, the City-County Council granted a towing law\nthat empowers the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services to license\nqualified wrecker companies. You can find details of this ordinance in Chapter\n995 of the Municipal Code. However, this law also protects drivers against\nunlawful and unethical towing practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standard Towing Laws:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
📛 A vehicle can be towed instantly if it\u2019s an emergency situation or if it\u2019s impacting a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
📛 If a driver is arrested, their vehicle is immediately towed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
📛 Vehicles abandoned on private property must be tagged with a notification sticker 24 hours before they are towed. After 24 hours of being tagged, a vehicle can be towed by the appointed towing company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do After Being Towed<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
If your car was just towed, ask yourself why. Was your\nlicense plate expired? Do you have several unpaid parking tickets? Was your car\njust involved or suspected of being involved in a recent crime? Was your\nvehicle in extremely poor physical condition, like flattened tires, missing\nbumper, or busted oil tank, while parked in a private lot? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you answered yes to any of these circumstances, it could\nbe the reason your car was towed. From here, look for towing signs. These signs\ntypically have information about the appointed towing company and how to\ncontact them. If this does not work, contact the DMV or the local police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
