He signed the declaration that the sign was posted before the car was parked, so we tagged and towed it. I'm sure it wasn't his first rodeo, and the sign went up min before my arrival... but he met the legal standards I had to meet]
To an alternate point, why, if a person was to park in my driveway do I need bylaw to ticket their vehicle. Am I not permitted to tow away vehicles parked on my property. If someone abandons something of theirs on my property is it not mine for the taking? How can I be held responsible for returning it to the original owner?
If there is no signage on your driveway, it's not a bylaw violation, so the bylaw officer will neither ticket nor have the vehicle towed.
Now, if you do it yourself, that's a whole different kettle of fish.
