Just another reason to buy a Chevy.

I don't get how this is awesome or wanting to shake her hand. She parked where she couldn't and should have towed before of it, and now we're commending her, for her actions??
Seriously....
It's actually pretty simple don't park where it says not to, or put enough change into the parking meter.

Interesting.... I guess tonight I will just park broad side across the street and block traffic, and run red lights and speed, just because it's convenient for me and I am 'fighting the power.' I guess everyone is just so special in their own eyes, they should just be allowed to do whatever they wanted... I mean obviously she absoluety had to be at whatever little restaurant or little shop was... God forbid she park in a proper spot.

No, there just are some better things in life to get behind then some spoiled brat in a shiny new SUV pushing around a tow trucker in Japan/China (at least I think it's Japan/China).
I have no towing business associations
... Just most of the world's roadways are more or less modeled after each other. All of the highways are modeled after Hilter's Autobahn including ours.

Those towing companies can be vultures. If someone is illegally parked, then law enforcement should give them a ticket. Now, if it private property, then the owner can call the tow, but towing a car for a parking violation is, in most cases, legally stealing someone's car. Do you need to shoot a gun to kill a fly on the wall? Towing is overkill. If it wasn't a money maker, there would be no towing, so that says it all.

Watch parking wars sometime. People can be absolute ***. I have no love for the towing companies but there are a lot of jerks who think they can park wherever they want.
Fire departments have a great way of dealing with people who park in front of hydrants. They bust out the windows and run the hose through the car.

Yea, but the point of it all it still there. Even if tow companies are vultures, everyone should know not to do something if they aren't fit/don't want to see the consequences. I always speed and have been pulled over a couple times. I don't get all teary-eyed and start balling that I don't deserve the ticket. Do I try and get out of it? Sure, I explain why I was speeding, just flowing with traffic, it's a nice clear day out I didn't see the problem, etc. Because honestly, the speed limits are significantly artificially low. And then if the cop still wants to give me a ticket, fine. I have nothing against him, I was speeding.
Since I don't want to deal with towing companies I don't park where it says I'll be towed. Simple as that. It's all fun and games till the fire department can't response quick enough because some self-centered moron parked where they shouldn't and someone's family member is lost because of them.

how do u know she was parked in a illegal spot? it's somewhere in Asia. Lord only knows what on earth is actually going on there. There are no visible signs in the vid.
I have been accosted by these jerk towing people on several occasions and I was, on all of those occasions, PARKED LEGALLY. Sometimes they just want MONEY. One of these dudes came up behind me in a parking lot at night to lecture me about not paying enough attention to my surroundings as a young woman alone. Meanwhile I had my lefthand on my knife in my pocket and my right hand on my keychain-mace can. Towing companies aren't Justice on Wheels, you know.
