Towing Issues: towing tagged cars, homework questions, traffic hazard


Question
QUESTION: how soon may a tow company tow a ticketed or tagged car and what do the different colors of tags mean

ANSWER: at the risk of sounding like I do not care or know what you are talking about.

BUT what kind of towing are we talking about.
Towing from parking lots for illegal parking?
Towing from streets as ordered by the police department for parking violations?

And what kind of tickets???  

I hate to say it but this is one of those unknown kind of homework questions here and I have no real answers with the limited information provided.

QUESTION: broke down or abandoned vehicles on highway with red tags or stickers on them

Answer
well it again depends on state laws, as the vehicles can be classified as abandoned vehicles.

Some of them are towed within 24 hours, some go to 72 hours before they are towed.
And then there are vehicles which are considered a traffic hazard which tend to be towed right away.

A dark colored vehicle at night with no lights or reflectors, triangles or what ever will tend to get towed faster than one which has the 4 ways (hazard lights) working.

Again state law can also depend on reason here.
