Situations Where a Vehicle Can Be Towed without Owner's Permission

Although it may be wildly frustrating if it happens to your car, there are certain scenarios where there is legal authority to tow a vehicle without the owner's authorization. Some of these situations are predicated upon safety, but others are more about having proper documents (or a lack thereof). Here's a look at five reasons that cars get towed without owner approval.

Blocking Driveway

Perhaps you didn't even realize you did it when you parked, but blocking a driveway is a surefire way to get your vehicle towed---especially if it's preventing access to a business. Blocking a walkway is another reason you could be towed.

Illegally Parked

Especially when you're in the big city, you've got to play close attention to the particulars on the street signs. By parking in a tow-away zone---such as in front of a fire hydrant or in an emergency vehicle parking spot---there's a good chance your car will be towed away in short order.

Disabled Vehicle

If your car breaks down on the side of the road and you abandon it, then an officer may elect to have it towed. Also, your vehicle may get towed if you get pulled over and the officer deems your vehicle unsafe to get back on the road.

Intoxicated Driving

In the state of Ohio, if you have a BAC above the legal limit, then your vehicle may be towed at your expense.

Driving without a License

An officer may decide to have your vehicle impounded if you are pulled over and can't produce a valid driver's license.
