What should you do if vehicle towed by Traffic police

Few of us may have experienced a terrible feel on noticing our bike or car parked is no longer visible at the spot .  We end up asking in surrounding what really happend there - has it  been stolen  , was it moved to any other location by some one etc . 

No need to panic . Relax !  99% it would be a case of Traffic police towed if vehicle parking is against norms or rules been violated.  Especially in Bengaluru , traffic police are more vigilant . A hefty towing charge of up-to Rs.750 for two wheeler and up-to Rs.1100 for 4 wheeler will be charged.



So what should you do if you find your parked vehicle missing - 

• Check with locality people who are nearby to parked spot . 90% - they may have seen traffic police towed your vehicle in your absence

• Call up traffic control room number -  080 2294 3131 . Inform about your exact location i.e Area and some popular landmark. They will have info on officers on job in respective areas and share contact number of officer

• Speak to officer immediately ,  share your vehicle model , registration number and confirm if they have really towed the vehicle and where you can collect them

• If they are nearby you are lucky , else you have to end up meeting them at Area police station .  Ensure you have at-least the towing charge + transport fare in your wallet to reach the spot.  If you are with a family , arrange a alternate transport for them as you may need to visit police station and may take time to settle. Be patient , if officers are at lunch it may take some more time to address your case. 

• One you meet officer , they shall guide on reason why they had to tow the vehicle , inform about charge payable.  Always Note - a fine is intended to correct a mistake & create awareness , if you feel its a mistake from you end in parking promptly pay the fine and get a bill. Don't try to bribe . If you are convinced its not your mistake , then you may take up to higher officials at police station with proof.

Beware - before using your vehicle AC

 

🔈To Each AC Car user,Now this is very interesting & MUST READ , as it's for HEALTH !...Car's manual says to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning on the A/C. WHY ? No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from, but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer-causing incidents. 

🚘Many people are in their cars the first thing in the morning, and the last thing at night, 7 days a week. Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car. 🚕Open the windows after you enter your car and then after a couple of minutes, turn ON the AC . 

 🚗Here's why: According to research, the car's dashboard, seats, a/c ducts, in fact ALL of the plastic objects in your vehicle, emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin. A BIG CARCINOGEN. Take the time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car when you open it, and BEFORE you start it up. 

🚕In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anaemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure can cause Leukemia and increases the risk of some cancers. It can also cause miscarriages in pregnant women. 

🚖The "acceptable" Benzene level indoors is: 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors, with windows closed, will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene - 8 times the acceptable level. 

 🚙If parked outdoors in the sun, at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level. 

🚗People who get into the car, keeping the windows closed, will eventually INHALE excessive amounts of the BENZENE toxin. 

🚕Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidneys and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff. 

🚘So friends, please open the windows and doors of your car - give it some time for the interior to air out -(dispel the deadly stuff) - before you enter the vehicle.
