Rep Power: 125

My EG got impounded the other day because one of my ******* neighbours reported it as abandoned. I had to get it off the driveway because we were having guests over this past weekend (don't ask me why they couldn't park on the street, because I have no idea) so I just threw the first active plate I had on it. It was only there for a few days, but that paired with me being away from my house for about 30 hours allowed them to put a notice on my car and then impound it.

Long story short, car was impounded, I paid the fee (which was ****ing ridiculous) and now it's back in my driveway. Got cited for misuse of license plate. Since it was a parked vehicle, I'm assuming then that it isn't a moving violation, which means my premium/demerits aren't affected? Anyone able to provide any info? Everything I've read on it suggests I'm fine but I'm apprehensive about the whole thing.

EDIT: Called the insurance company and it's dealt with now. Luckily, it's not going to affect my premium in any way.

Glad you got it taken care of.

It helps to have petrol head neighbors.

I have a few, but there's this one neighbour that hates us all haha.

But $800 later (ticket + impound fee), I got my $500 car back. *facepalm*

I would have left it there but the tow alone was $300 because they were there for 2 hours trying to unlock the stupid thing! Biggest ripoff I've ever seen in my life, but I didn't have much of a choice but to pay it at that point
