Dallas Texas Towing Uninsured Motorist Dallas, TX’s solution to Illegals… Brilliant!!!
passed an ordinance that if you are pulled over by law enforcement
and not able to provide proof of insurance, your car will be towed
right on the spot and issued a receipt for the vehicle.
after being impounded, you must present the receipt, show proof of
insurance and a drivers license or other ID to have your car
released. This has made it easy for the City of Dallas to remove
uninsured cars that are typically driven by illegals.
Shortly after “No Insurance” ordinance was passed, the Dallas
impound lots began to fill up quickly and were full after nine days.
Turns out that most of the impounded cars were driven by illegals.
Not only must you provide proof of insurance to have your car
released, you have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and
charged $20 for every day their car is kept in the lot.
I would suggest other cities across the nation to follow what
Dallas, Texas is doing. Not only is it getting uninsured drivers off
the road, but it is taking away vehicles driven by illegals who have
no insurance that might endanger your life.
road WITHOUT making them show proof of nationality or violating their
rights or ‘profiling’. Wonder how the ACLU or the Justice Department
will get around this one.
Towing Ordinance – Towing Uninsured Motorist
Dallas Resident,
Beginning January 1, 2009 the Dallas Police Department will begin
enforcing the Uninsured Motorist Ordinance, approved by the Dallas
City Council on May 28, 2008. Under this ordinance drivers stopped for
a traffic violation who cannot show proof of auto insurance meeting
state requirements will be issued a citation and will have his or her
vehicle towed at the owner’s expense. The City already tows the
vehicles of uninsured motorists involved in traffic accidents.
The new ordinance is in response to the large number of people
driving in the City of Dallas without the proper state required auto
insurance. These uninsured drivers place an unfair burden on those who
comply with state law and maintain auto insurance. The Dallas Police
Department currently issues about 75,000 citations a year to motorists
with no auto insurance. With the new ordinance, the city anticipates
fewer of these citations as more drivers comply with the law to avoid
having their vehicles towed.
To find out more about the Uninsured Motorist Ordinance that amended Section 28-4 of the Dallas City Code, please review the ordinance.
If you have any questions about this policy please call 311 (the
City of Dallas’ Customer Service Helpline) or 214-670-5111 when
calling outside the City of Dallas.
Comply with state law: contact an automobile insurance provider and obtain auto insurance. It’s the law.

+11That really is a good idea. If Denver has the guts to pass such an ordinance I'm going to buy some land and open a tow yard. Easy money!
THEN, when their friends come to pick them up the passengers after hauling off the driver to jail, the cops will unload them in that car, and tow that car too!
Don't Mess With Texas~!

offers many avenues to solutions-
Dallas rush hour traffic is our daily version of the Daytona 500. The down side is Julio and Marie are now driving way below the speed limit and clogging up traffic big time. And now they're using turn signals, thus confusing visitors that this is acceptable behavior. Also, they're stopping at Stop signs and not rolling them, stopping at yellow lights, waiting the full 3 second rule at right turn red lights!!!
As a person that was permantly injured by an uninsured driver, I love it!
Well intentioned, but not really a good idea, imo.
Where the heck did you get that from?
The discussion is about whether the Dallas ordinance is the solution to the illegal alien problem, not about everybody getting or having insurance. And, as for insurance carriers not insuring illegals, I challenge you to show me the insurance companies that are not insuring illegals who have driver's licenses.
"under a new regulation that took effect on the first of October the state [Texas] has tightened its licensing policies even more by requiring that foreign nationals prove they are in the United States lawfully before they can get an original license or renew an existing license or get a duplicate license or ID card. This is all being done in the name of national security."
"Of the hundreds of auto insurance companies in Texas, 'there may be a small number of companies that would sell insurance to a driver who does not have a valid driver’s license, but I am not familiar with any of those companies,' said Jerry Johns, President of an insurance trade association representing companies in Texas and Oklahoma.

I'm not going to spend my valuable time trying to give you a list of all of these insurance carriers, sorry.
Around 1990 in Century City I parked briefly in temporary 2o min. parking while I went into the lobby to check where the longer term parking was located. Returning 4 min.'s later I saw my car being towed....
Thirty min/s later, $250 for the tow, $20 for one 1/2 hours storage, taxi fare to the impound yard...
I hate Los Angeles.
Of course we were swamped in illegals in California, lated 70's on.
You all recall us begging the rest of the nation for support and help??? For the Fed's to do something???
You all recall the illegal immigrants was one of the reasons we all had a grudge againsr Carter?
It really went wild '76/77, thats when the illegal immigration first surged big time.
California as you know raised a nation wide fuss over it but the rest of the Nation seemed to just tell us to go to hell and all Californians are moral monsters and too rich. The people across the USA told us were the ones no good, a bunch of evil racists. We saw it in the papers, and the national news, how you cared nothing about us in California.
Then in the 80's it went way over the top and just stayed there, and it became a joke. And clear we the people meant NOTHING, had NO say, NO political power.
It is NOT our country. It's the country of the rich, not the workers who are in debt to the rich and own nothing much.
So we gave up.
