Derelict Car Removal From Public Road?

[huntr1]

There is a broken down car in my neighborhood. Parked on the public county owned road. Been there for almost a year. Still has tags. Homeowner has been talked to by neighbors and the postman (it was blocking access to a mailbox). All they did was push it forward 5' to let the mailman get to the box. Is there a way to get it towed?

Try calling the sheriff's dept and claim it as a public nuisance? If the tags are still on it and they are valid, you may have an uphill battle.

As long as it has current tags, I don't think there's anything you can do. The only way around it would be to have the HOA amend the by-laws to "no street parking".

Call a towing company and have it removed.

My first thoughts were "remove the tags and get it towed" and "torch it". Based on the legal ramifications of those actions, I decided to try legal removal efforts first. With it still having tags, I doubt there is much that can be done about it.

We have a couple of people in our neighborhood who insist on using the road as a driveway forcing people to drive on the wrong side of the road to get by. It's annoying, but evidently not against the law. Just rude...

First look at the tags and see if they have current registration stickers on them.
