he then turned around and said i had been issued with a section 59 under a year ago (wich i had'nt) so he decided to tow my car away aswell
cost me £115 to get my car back from the impound!
i think this is just another way to make more money! the police told me they dont take any of the proffits!
but the people who towed my car away said that they do take a % of the fine? who is telling the truth??
They MAY take a percentage of the £60 fine and the government takes the rest. The money they take will be used to pay for the speed enforcement equipment. They wont take any of the £115, thats what the recovery agent charges to tow away and store the car.
