Because You Asked

One reader wrote THE BUZZ, “Why do police do 30-day vehicle tows? I know they tow and impound for 30 days but what are some of the reasons?”

Sac PD patrol Capt. Hahn responds, “Cars can be towed for 30 days for a couple of reasons:

“14602.6 of the California Vehicle Code enables officers to tow a car for 30 days if the driver has a suspended drivers license or has never been issued a drivers license. (This is the most common).

“23109.2 of the California Vehicle Code enables officers to tow a car for 30 days if the driver is engaged in a speed contest.”

Thanks, Capt. Hahn!
