Staged. The car would have been strapped to the cradle...
NOPE, not when a repo-man picks one up. Too much risk of being caught. They back up, slide the lift under the car, pick up the back tires and drive away. Don't even get out of the truck, all of the hydraulic controls are inside the truck
On the re-po and parking violation videos I have watched (though they may be staged as well) they often go a couple of block before strapping, just to get to a safe zone where they don't have to worry about the owner fighting them.Originally Posted by IntheGroove
Where I live the Highway Patrol would cite you if you broke this law, repo or not...
29003-c. The raised end of any motor vehicle being transported by another motor vehicle using a tow dolly shall be secured to the tow dolly by two separate chains, cables, or equivalent devices adequate to prevent shifting or separation of the towed vehicle and the tow dolly.
Suppose the re-po guy could get a Highway Patrol escort to protect him while he secures his load?
If you are behind on the payments, whose car is it anyway?
When I had my school bus towed to the junk yard, the front axle wasn't clamped to the lift bar, just two loose safety chains.
