SERVICE OVERVIEW

Towing and recovery operator means a person engaged in the business of

(i) removing disabled vehicles, parts of vehicles, their cargoes, and other objects to facilities for repair or safekeeping and

(ii) restoring to the highway or other location where they either can be operated or removed to other locations.

To be considered a recovery vehicle, it must be used for one of the following purposes:

1.Recovery of a broken-down (disabled) vehicle.
2. Removal of a broken-down vehicle to a repair or scrap yard.
3. Transporting fuel, liquids, and tools required for its operation.
4. Removing a vehicle from the road at the request of law enforcement or local authorities It’s important to note that a broken-down vehicle is one that cannot reasonably be driven due to mechanical failure or dangerous components. Deliberately disabling a vehicle, such as disconnecting the battery, does not qualify it as disabled for recovery purposes. Recovery of broken-down vehicles typically applies to roadside scenarios or vehicles located within private premises.
