Why aren't the cops slapping the cuffs on the guy with the red golf?
Exactly!! I’m sure they could come up with a “ public nuisance order” on him… And to think we have to share the roads with these types of people😔 you can tell by his attitude that he’s not a considerate law abiding safe driver, infact you can tell that just by looking at his car and the fact he had no tax!! So he’s been driving it around without road tax and he’d run out of diesel, I’m sure they could find him driving on a local camera somewhere and also charge him for that offence!!
I'm surprised they crush them so readily, in the US they would auction them off.
And all too many end up back on the street, with fake tags and no insurance.
That has nothing to do with the car. That's the problem with a bad owner.
Auction ..... just right for corruption & theft!
That's right! There are no bad cars! Only bad owners! ..😆
They would get more money that way, right?
I have never seen tow truck drivers allowing car owners to stay in their cars while their car is being towed. I also never seen tow yards allow potentially irate car owners such easy access to their office staff either.
Letting people stay in their car while it's being towed is a definite no no.
If you are in the middle of a freeway/motorway it will be done until they can let you out in a safe area. Better than an irate owner who has just had their car seized due to unpaid tax in the cab with the driver.
@@Nibinin It was not the tow truck driver's responsibility to ferry them to a safe location. It was the police officer's responsibility but apparently he couldn't be bothered to do his job.
What if the car got loose (chain/tie breaking, etc) or they got into an accident? If anybody got injured the tow truck driver and the tow company could be found liable for any injuries sustained by his passengers even if somebody else caused the accident. Absolutely not worth the risk.
@@jormugand5578 In the UK, passengers may be carried in the back of a flatbed tow truck as long as speeds don't go over 30mph. Generally it is only done to get people out of harms way.
@@Nibinin Never said it wasn't legal. Still doesn't make it worth the risk. BTW how does the average UK driver feel about tow truck drivers driving less than 30 mph on UK streets let alone highways? 😉
Shotgun shells in a vehicle in Britain is definitely a problem, in the American South where I live it's uncommon to not have shotgun shells in your vehicle.
That’s not true
Most trucks in the American South have shotguns in them, too! And rifles.
Not really. It’s pretty hard to get handguns and whatnot in the UK, but hunting rifles/shotguns are a bit easier to get assuming you have a hunting license
When you have rope and chloroform in your vehicle you need to worry 😮
@@1958NeeNee that’s borderline profiling-because I have a truck in the south means I don’t always drive on a paved road. Biggest difference is most of us are driving with these things in our vehicles-LEGALLY
The man retrieving his stolen bike had such a great attitude. Not angry (I would be) just happy to have his ride back.
Shut Up ungrateful muda faka... That Guy is Happy because he knows the value...
I think he should not have had to pay for the storage fee if the bike was stolen.
@@stratussolutions405 If he had 'Full' / 'Comprehensive' insurance, or 'Third Party, Fire and Theft' he'd have got the charge refunded by his insurance company, just as he'd have got the cost of the bike if it hadn't been recovered.
That's why people pay the extra premium, and why those who don't want to pay less.
Do you think the bike owner should of had to pay anything?? To me that is just wrong. For God sakes his bike was stolen.
@@stratussolutions405 So, if he wasn't adequately insured, who should have paid?
Everyone else who was adequately insured and was paying to be?
I just found this channel a few days back and I already love it and have been binging on it since !
Lol “maximum security” chain link fence😂.
Maximum 😂😂 and then pay fees for someone else ruining your property
I am kinda shocked that they just trash the cars after 14 days.. Here in denmark if a car is towed and not collected they are auctions off and the profit goes strait back into the system.
The owner of the red golf-- What a peanut 😂
😂😂😂😂 he seriously made himself look like an absolute fool.😂😂😂
Immature boy. That’s what the VW Golf driver is. I mean:
POOOOOOOT!
“Oy! Hey, Channel Five! I farted!”
What a kid! And the way he acted when they were loading the car onto the hauler! What a toaster!
He's a first class plonker :)
I was a bit surprised at how useless the police were keeping him away from the poor tow truck driver trying to do his job.
I don't understand why they scrap it versus selling it at auction to at least get something out of it that's what happens in the states
yea i was thinking same thing gotta be worth more at auction than scrap
In curious if you would feel differently if they forced tell us we can't auction them off but MUST scrap them...mmmmm
@@shannonobrien9922 that is pretty much doing in the video!
@@shannonobrien9922 that just seems ludicrous I mean that tow company has bills to pay and auctioning them off would put a lot more money in their account
A lot of the time it is not worth the time and trouble to auction them as they are borderline roadworthy . The decent ones do get auctioned
Would not have that desk job for any amount of money! She gets all the a**’s!!
How come they can't auction off unclaimed vehicles? It would raise a good deal of money. I think Britain could really use the money right now
I worked as a tow truck driver in Virginia most vehicles that were not picked up by the owner. Were not worth anything more than scrap. The ones that were still good and worth anything did not bring more than $200 at auction
That’s a backwards system make tax and basic insurance part of the yearly registration , that’s how we do it in Australia looks like a big cash machine for the towing companies and millions in fines for the government. Police need to be out doing more important things.
True but in Aus it’s only third party for injury of the person. If you hit somebody without proper insurance you’re paying for the other person’s damages.
In the U.K. registration is a 1 off payment made on all brand new vehicles being registered for the very first time… After that it’s compulsory tax, insurance and MOT, yearly… So in short their tax is the same as our yearly registration however their compulsory 3rd party insurance (same as our compulsory 3rd party insurance, which doesn’t cover vehicle damage, that’s a whole other insurance just like we have here) is the most expensive part of their yearly fees, prices are determined by vehicle year, how long you’ve held a license, your driving history, your age, your address etc etc even a speeding fine or a DUI charge can increase your insurance by 100s and 100s of pounds per year… I was reading some articles a week ago on compulsory U.K. vehicle insurance and a learner driver with a £1200 2014 Ford Fiesta was paying £4800 a year for insurance😮 some were paying even more, I just hope our government doesn’t get any ideas… A lot of people don’t worry about it because their vehicles aren’t worth it and the fines they get for driving uninsured is nowhere near the cost of the insurance… I honestly don’t know how people can afford to drive on U.K. roads especially students or those with low income jobs…
Edit: oh and here in Australia our 3rd party insurance (which we pay in our registration) covers anybody driving our vehicle but in the U.K. it doesn’t!! So if I leant my car to a mate they’d have to take out their own insurance in order to drive my vehicle and be covered… It’s just ridiculous😔😔
If they are all linked, what tends to happen is that the owner goes for the quadrifecta - no licence, not tax, no insurance and no MOT. Then it gets crushed.
I’m assuming tax would be like the yearly registration we pay in the U.S.A?
Registration is known in many US states as Road tax
Yes rego and insurance we have that here in Australia as well (yearly)
Correct
@@kylieknight2365 The second I read, "rego" knew you were from Oz. I think it's fun how y'all put O at the end of your slang words.
I believe in the U.K. you only pay a 1 off registration fee on a new vehicle being registered for the very first time, then you pay your tax so you can drive it on the road… So you pay a 1 off registration fee (on a brand new vehicle) then tax, insurance and MOT and only then are you legally allowed to drive it on U.K. roads… Then every year after that you pay MOT, insurance and tax….
If they're doing all this because they're crying about not getting tax money, why are they destroying the cars instead of auctioning them off? Wouldn't someone buying the car they stole make more money than destroying it?
I think it's a liability concern unlike the US from my understanding the uk is very particular about maintenance and functionality of all parts not just emissions
@@holyvanguard Okay, but if someone buys a car don''t they have to get it maintained and inspected and whatever to be street legal? The city would get the auction money and more money from the forced inspections
I thought in the U.S they auction off the cars after a period of time. If they did the same in U.K they’d make money for taxes and other things.
Stupid. Britain!
@KamakazeTaco to be fair I never said it made logical sense
I know what you guys are dealing with I used to do private property towing here in the USA, some people can get very violent when their vehicles getting towed away
I wouldn't want to do it! I drive taxi 4 days a week. I'm 5'2 female 130lbs! I never go to work without my lil buddy! The cops all know about him too (and exactly where he hiding on my person! I don't fear them, they don't fear me! They all know me sufficiently to know I am doing what's necessary to keep myself and my customers safe!!! Heaven forbid I have a REAL bad accident - they know exactly where to find it so the wrong person doesn't get it!
Here, no one is legally allowed to ride in a towed vehicle.
That’s what got me. They allow people to ride in the car while it’s being towed. In the US that’s not allowed. In fact, one of the methods people here use to avoid getting towed is to sit in the car and refuse to come out. Usually the police come and force them out.
The man all up in arms about people "not knowing you can't move an automatic" without it starting I think he said? Clearly doesn't know there's usually a neutral unlock you can press with a screwdriver to be able to put it into neutral. A quick google with his make and model shows numerous videos of how to do it haha
Not like he seems to be a well-informed type.
Assuming taxes are what the US calls registration. Uninsured and underinsured insurances are today a necessity. Good to know that about keyless car entries.😮
No they have taxes and insurance. The taxes are tags if im not wrong
So in the U.K. you pay a 1 off registration fee on all brand new vehicles being registered for the very first time, then you have to pay MOT, insurance and tax every year thereafter to legally be able to drive on U.K. roads…
200 pound fine for no insurance in the UK? In Ontario Canada minimum fine is $5,000. (2,900 UK Pounds) you people have it easy.
However I don't understand why they scrap and destroy vehicles when they can be sold at auction that's what's done in the USA
that's what I was thinking! I can understand scrapping old cars, but the newer models might fetch nice prices when auctioned
It's not worth auctioning them off. The cars that don't get picked up aren't worth the scrap money, that's why nobody came to pick them up. And the few others didn't sell for more than 200 quid. So it's not liability,it's just not worth the time and effort
What kind of backwards ass system is that? Your car gets stolen so you have to pay to get it back....
The same thing applies in the US. You still have to pay if the recovered car is towed. You then file with your insurance.
Watch the A&E show Parking Wars. You see the same thing only on a municipal rather than a private company.
dude was so chill. poor guy
You have to pay for recovery and storage fees because the towing company doesn't work for free.
Then you just claim the costs on your insurance for reimbursement.
Park in the wrong place, you get towed. Suck it up mate.
You'll let people stay in a car that's on a tow truck, not in the USA
I know right.. here people jump in thinking that means you can’t be towed. Of course they just get arrested and waste police time.!😂😂
I got to ride up the ramp
I don't know if you noticed but this wasn't happing in the usa.
The U.S. needs that device to check insurance, registration etc.
Chappie with the red VW Golf was a bona fide tweaker. Loved how he was hopping around taking pics. I spit a bit of vino out laughing at his "Dance of the Meth Head"
Especially when he said that if the towing company damaged it they were going to pay!
That Golf looked like a third-world bush taxi!
@@williamegler8771 If they bumbed it, there is a greater change one of the many existing dents would pop out, making the car less damaged.
I just dont get the police there.
Where i live, if this situation was to occur, the police would ask the man to stand back and if he did not comply they would put him in handcuffs and put him in the back of a police car until the towtruck guy was finished loading it.
He was being a massive pain in the behind and a danger to the tow truck guy and other road users, running around, flailing his arms on the road.
He $hit himself aswell at the office after he hobbled in,the windows were shaking, undies were destroyed
@@JohnDoe-bd5szI’m sure they could’ve charged him with a “public nuisance order” and had him in the back of the patrol car whilst the tow truck driver loaded his vehicle without interruption…
I like these shows. I’m American and this feels odd to just tow a vehicle with people in it if it’s for legal reasons. That’s a safety issue in the US. US is known for being “home of the weapon”. That’s why we can’t do stuff like this with the people owning and or passengers. I’m one to not believe in having a weapon. There’s no real good reason for having one. If people didn’t have a typical weapon, then no one would “feel” the need to have one for safety reasons. The same as the show “Call The Bailiffs”. They just walk up to a business or home, peaking all in the windows and the mail holes. I don’t feel unsafe in the US, but the not having to think about in certain scenarios that someone might have a weapon seems so nice to have. That’s probably also why I like these shows.
Kelli - I'm sorry you don't feel there any legitimate reason to be armed. I'm 5'2, 130lbs soaking wet. I drive taxi in our town (30000 and many are addicts.........I do what's legal to keep myself and my customers safe! I'm not trying to force you to NOT carry- PlZ don't try and presume to tell me I shouldn't have the right bcuz you don't want to!
The "DELIVERY DRIVER" was driving a Mercedes Benz and there were numerous expensive cars on the driveway but couldn't even afford to insure their vehicle
Who are you trying to impress by using an expensive vehicle to make deliveries?
The lady with the dog was driving a Mercedes but couldn't pay the tax and registration.
Maybe both should trade in their German luxury vehicles and buy a used Dacia.
Tow the car with the person inside and! Have her help you load it!
Outrageous
You think she should have been left on the motorway
How is it that so many stolen cars are never found. It’s an island with cctv cameras everywhere.
Oh my gosh, "Live Shotgun Cartridges"!!!
What about them??????
Tow trucks in the U.S. are not allowed to tow a vehicle with someone inside the car no matter what.
Crazy, the bike guy had to pay to get his stolen bike back, even damaged. That’s not right.
Who else would pay if he only had 3rd party insurance?
@@John-G it was STOLEN! It would not be there had it not been stolen. It wasn’t his fault.
@@4_EverLucky 0f course "it wasn't his fault", but if he'd had it insured against theft, as he may well have done, he wouldn't have had to pay to get it back as his insurance would have refunded the cost. The cost is covered by 'Full' or 'Comprehensive' insurance, as it's covered by 'Third Party, Fire and Theft' (there's a clue in the 'Theft' part).
If you don't want to insure your property against theft that's YOUR choice, no-one else's, but why should everyone else pay higher insurance premiums to cover YOUR costs if you decide not to pay for theft insurance?
Edit: a typical whinging "it's not my fault, why should I pay" response from those who think they're entitled to what they haven't paid for but others have.
If you want theft insurance, pay for it.
If you think whoever stole it was to blame and should pay, you can always sue them.
At least the first truck driver has an amenable attitude. Very commendable.
In the US, no passengers are allowed in a towed vehicle. It's for safety reasons, they claim.
Agreed.... very foolish. That tow truck gets in a wreck, the passenger in the POV is killed = huge lawsuits.
In the U.S. the cars are auctioned & the proceeds go to the police department
This is quite revealing, but why do people buy expensive cars ? You are asking for trouble. 😮
What a disgusting system 150 pound to get your stolen bike back......find the thief charge them.
If it was insured for theft, insurance would pay. If it's not insured for theft, his choice.
@@John-G I had three bikes stolen and two recovered by police in the Netherlands and recovery was free as I pay taxes and that's their job, not to rob you.
@@technodaz His bike wasn't held by the police but by a private company. If you don't want to pay, then pay for theft insurance and your insurance will cover the cost. The "taxpayer" shouldn't have to pay for your insurance because you're too mean to pay for it yourself and you're only willing to pay for third party insurance.
@@John-G Exactly so the police found his bike then handed it over to a private company , in The netherlands the police have their own impound yard , hell one time they even gave me a L of petrol so I did not have to walk it home.
@@technodaz So your Dutch fellow taxpayers are paying for the theft insurance you should be paying for yourself if elsewhere. I thought the UK had a bad system, but at least it's not as bad as yours.
I feel so sorry for the guy that got his bike stolen why should he have to pay so unfair!
My motorcycle was stolen years ago in Los Angeles, and it was found later and was stored at the towing yard, and I had to pay to take it out. Outrageous!.
If you have full insurance or 3rd party fire & theft then your insurance pays. If you only have 3rd party, not theft, why should someone else pay?
@@John-G it was a long time ago. I had to pay because of the deductible.
@@frenchustube In that case, if you hadn't wanted to be liable for the "deductible" you should have paid more for your insurance. "Outrageous" that you expect others to pay for your insurance because you're not prepared to do so yourself.
Insurance is expensive because insurance companies never reduce their profits. They pass their loses back to their customers in the form of higher yearly premiums.
I assume them saying the tax was not paid actually means the registration has not been paid?
Too bad Ian didn't have a flatbed like we have in America (with just a winch and cable - no crane). Would have been funny once the owner refused the keys and Ian dragged the car up on the bed with the detent in the transmission breaking loose (it damages the internals of the transmission). In America, tow operators are usually not liable if the owner refuses the give the keys.
Not sure why they crush the cars? Why not auction it off?
I was wondering the same thing.
Liability on the part of the impound lot
@@harryjones8952 but if you buy from an auction, it’s the liability the same? Ie. your problem not ours?
@@harryjones8952nothing to do with liability! It's not worth auctioning them off. The cars that don't get picked up aren't worth the scrap money, that's why nobody came to pick them up. And the few others didn't sell for more than 200 quid. So it's not liability,it's just not worth the time and effort
$30 for getting the car taxed??? Thats a dream come true! $1500 for my car
Why do you have to pay to get your stolen vehicle back? That is ridiculously stupid. Now the bike is messed up, too.
If you're not insured for theft, why should anyone else pay?
"What can I do for you?" Hmm maybe get my car back?? I don't know, how about some sushi......
You can move an automatic
What if the car isn’t paid off yet? How does the lien holder get their money back if the car gets crushed? Do they have to go after the buyer in court?
The guy hobbling into the office ready to give em a good ol crop dusting,,the windows were shaking, thinking he might also be needing new underpants,
Why isnt proof of insurance a qualification to work as a freelance delivery driver?.
It is also taxes to the government
They take the cars to the scrapyard? Why not auction them off like we do here in the US. At least the city gets some of their money.
That's what I said!!
It is so wrong to have to pay to get your stolen vehicle back.
In England, they tow cars with people still inside the vehicle. In the United States, that is a big liability, and a possibile lawsuit if someone is injured.
Such a tough guy, but covering his face like a scared little boy. So tough.
The dumbest thing I’ve ever seen is smashing the cars. Sell them at auction and recoup some money. Crazy!
My VIN was entered into the system incorrectly on an import when it was being registered in Ireland. Couldn't get it tested and had to spend the day trying to get it reregistered with the correct details. Was a pain in the arse.
Those tow trucks are cool. They don’t have those here in the US
And here I was thinking that USA tow trucks look cool. Moreso the super duty dually trucks.
Why cannot those British LEOs not arrest him?
interesting, we learn erryday!
Really??????
I couldn't do it! I drive taxi in our town 4 days a week and the ONLy reason Im willing to do it regardless is I know Im safe
When you have money for nails and lip injection, but not for the insurance... all the power to that lady to lift self esteem, but public safety (insurance etc.) > dolling up.
They let the driver drive the car up on the truck?
If not sorted out within 14 days of being towed ....vehicle is crushed day 15.
WOW! In the United States you can tow a person or animal at all. It's illegal and unsafe.
Well, motorbike owner, if you had realized the costs of retrieving your bike had been considered for you to timely do your duty as a person owning and using your bike paying the fees required, you still would have come out much better.
I’m surprised that they don’t auction the cars that are in good shape. It would give the government another source of revenue
I’m surprised the delivery driver didn’t have to prove valid insurance when being hired. That is the company’s mistake.
11:30 I’m surprised that you don’t have to set out half a dozen traffic cones to create a visual job site. I know the bloke was stirring you by keeping on coming close but he does have a good point, that he’s doing nothing wrong walking up
He really stood up there and farted 😂
I'm amazed. NO WAY you ride in the car as it is being towed or hauled here in the states. You might get to ride with the tow truck driver in the cab or the cop gets you off the highway.
Shotgun Shells? Here in the states those come with the car when you buy it!😆 Never know when you might have to "throw lead"!
Cars should be licensed and insured, yes. But not taxed.
They Collect Money And THEN They Say That They Destroyed It ! sweet !
That Guy is Happy to have his bike back and pay because he knows the bike value and the peoples work ,but people in the comments are ungratefull as s.hit ..😂😂😂
Allowing people to travel inside their car on a tow truck is a thoughtful gesture. But from a health and safety viewpoint, I think it's a questionable practice
I wouldn’t think the impound companies make any money on scraped cars.
Don't even sneeze in Britain, they'll crush your car!
Why would you scap those cars? In the US, they are auctioned off. At least they recover something for the cost.
And in the US, passengers can't be in the car. They ride in the tow truck.
Is 'Tax" registration?
Tweekers aren't they fun 😂😂😂
I think he was embarrasing....
I understand why ppl who have unpaid insurance or registration (tags) have their car towed and have to pay for the towing etc. Why like the man with the motor bike that was stolen and found has to pay anything? He did nothing wrong and I am sure there are many stolen cars & bikes that are found, Do you think they should pay to get it out???
In the USA we auction or sale the working vehicles!
Their fine for no insurance is cheap
Here they introduced a daily fine for any registered vehicle that has unpaid insurance or road tax.
The fine is £30 for every day you have your car uninsured and registered.
I think i read, the amount of cars, bikes and mopeds that was registered but uninsured or no road tax had been paid, more than halved in the first months after this new law.
Maybe Britain should adopt something similar.
So if someone steal your Car or Motorbike You get fine for the storage and the thief goes free. Well nice system you got there.
No, that's not "the system".
When they say they have not paid their tax is that the same as registering the car? What do they mean by pay their tax?
why wouldnt they auction off the good vehicles. seems like a missed opportunity
Unbelievable that the tow truck driver has to transport the car owner and any passengers. I would think that would be a liability for tow company.
I was surprised at that too. I wonder was this temporary for covid to not allow the car driver sit in the cab?
and these people are happy to ruin other peoples lives. Shame on them!
Who, the ones that have no insurance, road tax or MOT on their vehicle ?
Funny how the red car owner is trying to act like a tough guy but too much of a coward to show his face. Big baby.
wow peace officers in that country really do bend over backwards. like they cant even get the person away from the guy doing his job
American here. Honest question if a stolen vehicle is used in a crime that takes months or years to prosecute does the owner have to pay for years of storage?
If it needs to be stored privately, yes. But this won't happen if the vehicle is used for evidence.
If the vehicle is not being used for evidence, it should be released pretty quickly. And since the prosecution is taking so long, it's going to be claimed for in the payment the defendant will have to make if found guilty to cover damages & costs etc. Won't even need to go through insurance likely.
If found innocent, well then, your vehicle was impounded rightfully since nothing illegal was done with it by another party.
@@Pavel-yp2je thank you
Truck driver ... no seat belt .... HELLO
How come that tow truck driver is not wearing a seat belt?????
taxes ? insurance i know
Why is nobody wearing seat belts, I mean police and towing company.
Why don't they auction off the great, good, or just exceptical cars, truck or even motor bikes?? They would get much more money then scraping them. All the new owners would have to do is be given some type of title, pay the insurance and registration, and pay a lock smith to put new locks all the way around. I am assuming they don't have the keys to many. If they can't drive it or like most auction give you 48 hours to remove the purchased car. That would let the car pound make even more money to tow the car to a location the new owners ask. Even the government would make money from the registration (tags) etc for the car. The way they are doing it the car pound makes very little from scrap and the government makes nothing at all. Is that not common sence??
This amounts to an unfair tax on the poor
Where do you reside? Country
What is MOT?
I find it odd the can load a car on the truck with the driver still in it as far as I know you cant in North America but its been 30 years since I drove a tow truck so maybe things have changed
People have to many rights in uk
What kind of tax? Is it property tax? When they get their tags, then charge the property tax.
Road tax in the US is the same in all states: LICENSE fees! Same thing different name
