Re: Should unlicensed drivers have their vehicles towed when pulled over for an offen
If the owner does not have a valid drivers license, the car is not insured. Is it OK for a licensed driver to drive an uninsured car on the street? In most if not all states it is not.
Fair enough, I will acquiesce that I do not know the police officer's motivation, can you give me an example of some non-punitive motivation for this situation because I cannot think of any.
Keep in mind the context:
1. car is legally operable
2. there is a legal driver able and willing to relocate the vehicle right there on the spot. (passenger)
3. The police officer refuses to allow the passenger to take possession of the car which would both A. Extend the period of time it take to vacate the vehicle from the roadway (waiting for the tow to arrive). and B. Prevent the passenger from a completely legal activity (borrowing and driving a car).
