You get pulled over for a brake light out (totally legit reason albeit bad fortune) and the Officer asks for your License, Registration and Insurance Card. Your stomach knots up as you realize the registration renewal is on your kitchen counter under a stack of other bills that you haven’t paid yet (long sigh). The officer returns to advise you that the registration is expired and your insurance lapsed also (yikes) and that you are going to receive 2 tickets and a written warning for the brake light! But wait… there is an added bonus…Because the vehicle has no valid registration and your insurance is expired, the car must be towed and impounded. 76,000 vehicles are impounded in the US each day. More than 50% are initiated by law enforcement due to the following circumstances:
- Unpaid Fines and Parking Violations
- Expired or Invalid Documentation
- Abandoned Vehicles
- Involvement in Criminal Activity
- Public Safety Concerns
- Community Caretaking
- Traffic Regulation Violations
- Lack of Proper Insurance
If your vehicle is impounded, you must act quickly because the storage bill will increase by up to $100 per day. If you do not have the money to pay the charges to get your vehicle out of impound, your options are limited but if you have equity in the vehicle the best option is to sell the vehicle to pay the charges. For many people, this is not the first choice because they need transportation, but it winds up being their best option if they want to prevent losing their vehicle to the impound yard.
