Adequate parking is a problem for every million-plus city. Parking spaces (paid or free) are clearly not enough, and leave own car a block from work or other right place in no one.
And this is even in best case- one block. If the driver needs to go on business just “for five minutes”, then there is also a risk of getting on a tow truck.
One gets the impression that such services are the only ones who closely monitor order in the city, and it is impossible to hide from them.
The cases are different, the culprit in them may be a motorist or the traffic police service with tow trucks. Deal with it already judicial order and with a set of protocols and statements.
Those who have become "victims of a tow truck" - this is the name of the citizens whose cars were evacuated - are already resorting to little tricks. They do not break the law, although they cannot be called honest, but they are effective.
What tricks do drivers use and how do they work
On the Internet you will find many ways to prevent the evacuation process. They were invented immediately when the evacuation services began to take away the car even without the presence of the owner.
People who left work and did not find their own vehicle, who then paid a decent amount for the evacuation of storing the car in the penalty area, came up with several ways to deal with unforeseen evacuation.
Conventionally, they can be divided into two groups:
- Actions that prevent evacuation (attaching with chains to the fence, twisting the wheels, attaching luggage to the roof of the car, parking on the curb).
- Actions that, according to the law, do not allow the service to take away the car (the presence of passengers in the cabin, the absence of license plates).
Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some of them can cause a fine or deprivation of rights if the traffic police seriously intervene in the case and prove the unlawfulness of the motorist's actions.
Fixing the car
This method is the most common. Even numerous photos from the Internet testify to this. The idea came from anti-theft agent with bike lock.
Only this system looks more impressive on cars, many saw how the vehicle, chained to a fence or the nearest tree, tried to take away special services.
They do not have the right to cut the chain, because this is damage to property. Therefore, they have one chance - to wait for the owner of the car, although at this time they may be called to another place.

The advantage of this method is that in the trunk there is always a place for protective circuit. You can buy a solid lock, lock it, and keep the keys with you.
Devices preventing evacuation
Entrepreneurial people have already established production special devices which will complicate the work of the evacuation service employees.
On sale you will find a steel shield that is fixed on the wheel like a disk and closes it. The service will not be able to catch on the wheel to lift the car and load it onto the conveyor.
However, we note that the services have found a way to deal with such tricks by a motorist, and evacuate vehicles even with a shield on both wheels.
Fake child
Often car owners carry in a car Baby chair or a doll of realistic parameters. According to the evacuation safety rules, services do not have the right to load and transport the car if there are passengers or a driver inside.

Even law enforcement agencies do not have the authority to force a person to get out of the car for no good reason (and the evacuation of the vehicle for wrong parking does not apply to these cases).
A chair with objects or a doll covered in it creates the illusion that the child is in car showroom. If the windows are tinted, then it will not be possible to examine and identify the model.
If you didn’t have a chair and a baby doll, then such a “guard” against evacuation will cost a decent amount.
And it should be noted that a conscientious inspector will not leave the car until he waits for the arrival of the parents who left the child himself in the vehicle.
Then the fraud can be exposed, and transportation of the car to the impound is guaranteed.
Leave a person in the car
The considered method has more advantages than the previous one. From a moral point of view, it is better to leave an adult in the car and go on business. But here, too, there are nuances.

How to make a fake? An inflatable doll will help here, you can also place things on back seat and cover with a blanket to resemble a lying person. The next option is a relative or friend. But to carry someone with you and leave on different time in the cabin is uncomfortable.
If the inspector saw a human silhouette in the car, knocked, but there was no reaction, then this would arouse suspicion. In this case, the law enforcement officer will have to wait for the owner of the vehicle.
Wheel turning
The easiest way: turned the wheels to the maximum and went on business! In this position of the wheels, the service will not be able to lift the car and place it on a tow truck.
But employees have long had devices to deal with inverted wheels. If you got to a company with such devices, then evacuation is guaranteed.
The downside is that it can harm your car and after the penalty area you will have to go to a service center.
Removal of license plates
Also a valid option, but after the traffic police arrive at the scene, the cunning owner of the vehicle will have problems with the law. Because a car without license plates will cause a fine or deprivation of rights for a short period.

This is the most illegal and inconvenient way. Before you leave the vehicle and go on business, you will have to work with a drill to remove the signs, and upon arrival again work with the tool so that the signs are in place. One can only imagine what the signs will be after a month of such actions.
Other
The rest of the ways look ridiculous. For example, some motorists practice wheel removal. This is a difficult task, you can get dirty, you won’t be able to constantly wield a jack.

If you rush, you can compromise the safety of the car and endanger yourself and passengers while driving. The tow truck will definitely not pick up such a car.
Passers-by may decide that the attackers are dismantling the car for parts and can call law enforcement officers. This method is suitable for short-term parking.
More resourceful car owners put up a yellow wheelchair sign.
Tow trucks cannot check the physical condition of a motorist, and it is forbidden to evacuate a vehicle of a disabled person. You can buy a sticker in many stores, even in departments with stationery or souvenirs. The choice of this method depends on the morality of the driver.
Inconvenient parking is another trick from those who do not want to get on a tow truck. The main task is to make sure that loading on company car became impossible.
To do this, motorists park in such a way that the curb is between the wheels. The tow truck will not be able to pick up the car from below.
If you leave your vehicle close to a wall or under low-lying branches or a canopy, this will also interfere with the operation of the service.
You can leave oversized luggage attached to the roof of the car. Thus, tow trucks will not be able to fix the confiscated vehicle on the tow truck and, moreover, transport it.
They have no right to cut chains or damage the driver's property, so such a car cannot be evacuated.
Tricks do not exempt the driver from paying a ticket for incorrect parking
Sooner or later, the owner of the vehicle will come to the place where the evacuation service has visited. Although she was unable to transport the car to the penalty area, the driver will still have a receipt for paying the fine for illegal parking.
The inspector must record the number of the car and other data, so you can’t get around this punishment.
In such cases, it is better to weigh all the arguments and decide: is it worth it to cheat, perhaps a paid parking space will cost much less than fines, is it worth risking the right to drive.
How to avoid evacuation legally
The only one legal way to avoid evacuation is to comply with the rules traffic. Do not park your vehicle under No Stopping or No Parking warning signs.

Pedestrian crossings and stops public transport are also not a parking area for your car.
"Victims of tow trucks" have long invented many ways to deal with such services, because the cost of evacuating and storing vehicles in the parking lot is high.
Tricks to deal with unwanted evacuations are almost illegal. That is, they clearly do not violate the rules of the law, but at the same time they do not adhere to the rules. safe operation car, morality and etiquette.
For example, a child left in the cabin testifies to the frivolity of the parents, such a case will definitely not go unnoticed by traffic police inspectors and passers-by, and the returning driver will have to explain himself and, possibly, subject his car to evacuation.

It is also illegal to use the rights of disabled people, fraud can be easily detected, because a law enforcement officer can ask the driver for documents, and if they do not confirm disability, then the car will be evacuated, and its owner will have to pay a fine or lose their rights for several months.
most active and The right way of all of the above - follow the basic rules of the movement.
Thus, you can protect yourself from an unpleasant situation with a tow truck and not expose yourself, passengers and other road users to danger.
During the use of tricks to deceive the evacuation service, you can accidentally, but significantly damage your vehicle.

Gevorkyan I.K.
I had a very severe accident involving several vehicles. I spent almost a year in the hospital. My car "Hyundai-elantra" was just soft-boiled. Unfortunately, no one was going to compensate me for the damage, including the insurance company. I turned to the lawyers of the Mytishchi law firm for help. I was awarded 125,827 rubles from the insurance company ZAO MAKS and 467,199 rubles from the person responsible for the accident. Thanks to them for a great job.

The court satisfied my requirements by 96.86%. Thanks to the lawyers who handled my case, the RESO-Garantia insurance company refused to pay me the cost of repairing my truck. By court order, I was reimbursed for the cost refurbishment 91,911 rubles and legal expenses - 17,800 rubles.

I have my own small company - a city taxi service. In this case, drivers quite often get into accidents. We repair cars ourselves, but insurance companies constantly underestimate the cost of repairs. I fought with the insurance companies on my own for a very long time. A year and a half ago, I signed a contract for legal services with Mytishchinskaya law firm and all my communication with the insurance companies stopped. I only receive money in my checking account. Courts, claims, writ of execution - lawyers do everything for me. Very satisfied.

The topic is doubly relevant in winter, when there is snow and slush on the roads, which means that the likelihood of inadvertently violating traffic rules increases.
Through the efforts of the city authorities, the green "crocodiles" tow trucks gained a bad reputation. Meanwhile, unpleasant communication with this service can be avoided if you know the law. The same knowledge will help minimize the consequences if you are still unlucky to fall into their tenacious manipulator paws. Let's fill in the gaps.
Everything according to the law
Detention issues Vehicle(TS) are regulated by Article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Please note that by itself, evacuation and detention in a parking lot are not considered a punishment by law, but a measure to ensure the proceedings in a case of an offense. There is some guile here, because the costs of rescuing a car from captivity, as a rule, many times exceed the amount of the fine for the violation due to which it was detained. The fact that, having parked a car in a prohibited place, there is a chance to find it in a car impound, probably everyone already knows. But there are other offenses for which you can temporarily lose property.These include driving a vehicle without registration documents, which, we recall, include only a registration certificate and technical certificate(not to be confused with PTS!). Since traffic rules prohibit driving with faulty brakes, steering, and the road train also with damaged hitch, an attempt to ignore the ban can also end in a car impound. The car will also be evacuated if the driver does not have a license. I did not forget them at home (for this only a fine), but did not receive or was deprived of them. The vehicle will be detained if the person driving was drunk or refused to undergo an examination in a drug laboratory. Professional drivers face arrest for violating the rules international transport, as well as transportation of large and heavy cargoes.
Did not have time to take away - will they give it back?
Detention must be terminated together with the elimination of its cause. For example, if there is a driver among the passengers who is ready to drive instead of a drunk, they will not call a tow truck. Sometimes traffic police officers make concessions and make it possible to bring documents for a car forgotten at home or find sober driver. The offender is considered to have two hours. In fact, this is not provided for by law, so the only hope is the goodwill of the inspectors and circumstances - if suddenly friends or relatives turn out to be more agile, arriving at the place faster than the tow truck.TV channel "360" learned how to make sure that the car was not taken to the impound.
Drivers, especially in the capital, even when they want to park in a permitted place, sometimes they simply cannot do it - everything is busy. They leave the car where they have to, and then get a three thousand fine for illegal parking, give five thousand for a tow truck service and spend half a day in line at the impound. Those who are tired of this are looking for ways to protect themselves from tow trucks.
Myths about evacuation
They say that if you turn the wheels all the way, then you won’t be able to drag the car onto the loader. This is not so, tow trucks are equipped with special fasteners that cling to the wheels at any angle.
Or another statement - if you park close to the curb, you will not be able to pick up the car. This is also a myth - an experienced loader will cope with this task. As with big cars like the GAZelle - large-sized equipment is used to evacuate them.
Method number 1. Removal of rooms
Drivers are twisting car plate numbers. Ride without state number it is impossible - a fine of five thousand rubles or deprivation of rights by a court decision. But you can stand still without numbers and not move anywhere. True, your car may arouse the suspicions of the police - you never know what's inside.
Method number 2. car hamster
Neither the police nor the evacuation service have the right to take the car away if there is a person or animal inside. Therefore, some drivers deliberately leave dogs in the cabin or start a car hamster. The fact is that any evacuation can harm a living being. We are talking about the transportation of the car, and the possible downtime at the impound. But no one will feed the animal in the impound. Think about it if you just looked at your cat differently.
Method number 3. Chain
Those who are not ready to risk pets tie their cars with chains and tow ropes. To everything in a row: to a fence, a tree or a neighboring car. The fact is that it is impossible to remove the chain without a lock, but the law does not allow the traffic police to do it otherwise. After all, what you hitched your car with is your property, which cannot be spoiled. This can be done by a police officer, who in such cases can be called.
Method number 4. Roof bike
Some drivers began to carry a bicycle on the roof of the car. To do this, install special mounts for the carriage of two-wheeled vehicles. As a result, the actual height of the machine is increased by one and a half meters. This method is not suitable for owners cars, since the final height of the car becomes identical to the height of a small truck. Such vehicles can be towed. But large SUVs and minivans with a bicycle on the roof have every chance of remaining in their parking space after the arrival of the forklift.
Method number 5. Anti-evacuator
The principle of operation of the device is simple - a steel shield is attached to one of the wheels with bolts, thereby closing it. It costs from two to four thousand rubles, for the most part it really makes it difficult to load the car.
But, judging by the video on the network, there are also such tow trucks that the shield is not a hindrance to. In general, it is better to give an extra couple of laps in search of a parking space, but still leave the car in the right place. And time and money will be more whole.
