wow them no easy eh :rotfl:

That win... I never see that wrecker in operation. The fella reaction priceless. He can't catch himself yet.
-
They are certainly very efficient. At least one dept of Gov't is working to earn their pay!!!!

oh lorse that is some funny shit, i better doh get cetch or i wont be laughing so hard :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
-
de police just stop to show he face :rotfl:he eh really cater wuh de fella had to say
-
I does see that on the street outside my office building every day....is a new breed of wrecker guys out there....
-
so why they cant convert some of them wreckers into crime scene vehicles

i aint see that lol, ok well mods merge into that thread

Doesn't the hand-brake operate on the rear wheels? Unless in each case the hand-brake was not used, how could it be so easy for the tow truck to remove these cars?

You really stop and think about that question before posting it?
-
Actually the revenue stream is not as free flowing as one would think. As I understand it, it is a TT$100 fee to get back the vehicle, 80 goes to the wrecker and 20 to the treasury.

Doh lie, dat real low!
I pay dat same fee about 10 years ago when I get tow from Edward St downtown.

That is a legit question.
Most cars have the emergency brake applying some force to the rear wheels, though not as much as you would get if you pressed the pedal. Thus the brake could be applied and the car still towed, probably trashing your parking brake.
More than a fair number of people with automatic transmissions never use the parking brake, relying only on the locking mechanism on the transmission when you put the car in Park. Making towing a front wheel drive car as simple as it appears in these videos.
The fun starts if your car has a different arrangement. Some newer cars have an electric parking brake which applies a force directly to the calipers in the rear wheels. Others use a motor to operate the traditional cable system. While it would still be possible to tow the car in all of these situations, it probably won't go as happily as these two in the videos.
Bottom line: if you going to park in front of crobar, keep the handbrake down, or resist the urge and park your A6 in a legal space.

yeah but study yuh does hadda trek quite dong sea lots to get it back...yuh could lorse more dan yuh car on de way! :-[

Depending on the time of the day and where the car is towed from they also use the paved area east of the "Grand Stand" in the savannah.

how yuh know where to collect yuh car then? I man woulda head straight down sea lots if my car get tow

three yaers ago I was parked on south quay waiting for ah pardna and there were using Toyota Landcruisers with a hitch and in 1/2 hour they towed theree cars and were hookin up the forth when I was driving away. I dont know if it was the same wrecker
-
I eh know if is true but I hear this is illegal.
The officer is supposed to come out and make an attempt to locate the driver....walk around the car at least.
Heard that from two sources. But hardly anyone going to take it beyond quarelling with the officer before handing over the money.

U correck dey suppose 2 look 4 u but dat eh happenin
-

Don't have a clue, I use a parking lot or some other authorised parking area when I am in P.O.S. or environs. Some places are more obvious (like the people who get towed on Keate St. should know to check the savannah and those near the promenade should check Sea Lots), but unless there's a notice out somewhere I figure the person would have to guess.

Hope those 2 sources are reliable. We does always "hear" something from someone who sounding confident this time is shit they spouting.

This is true, it is illegal. The law actually states that the officer must try to locate the owner of the vehicle before it can be towed. Clearly this was not done in either of these cases

fed up hear police reps on the radio say this.
AS for the parking brake thing, imagine your car is rear wheel drive, or is a full time AWD like mine. That will mash up the transmission for sure.

I started to post this very thing yesterday but didn't bother. There was programme on CNMG about 6 weeks ago where the TV station in conjunction with the police went out on the streets and a woman police officer went to great lengths to explain the process. Yes, they are supposed to check, double, triple check, quadruple check the area where the vehicle is parked in an effort to locate the owner. If the owner is found, the infraction is pointed out to the owner, a ticket issued but the vehicle is not towed.
If the owner is not found the vehicle is then towed. She also explained that once the vehicle has already been hooked up to the wrecker and the owner then arrives on the scene the vehicle is still towed. You can't do anything about it once it is hooked up to the wrecker.
I have NEVER seen this being applied when vehicles are being wrecked.
I am suprised however, that the wreckers are getting so much revenue. No wonder they are so efficient. And I wont be surprised if the police officers accompanying them are getting a cut....
-
towin vehicle has always been a viable business.

Most cars have the emergency brake applying some force to the rear wheels, though not as much as you would get if you pressed the pedal. Thus the brake could be applied and the car still towed, probably trashing your parking brake.
...anybody who know much about cars would know that the emergency brakes won't stop a car if there's an impetus propelling it forward. Which is to say... unless you're coasting to a stop the handbrake won't stop the vehicle. In short it won't stop the car from being towed.

You really stop and think about that question before posting it?
Normally I wouldn't bother giving you the time of day, but since someone else observed that my question was legitimate and I have a few minutes, I thought I'd do a quick google (I'm not an expert on car mechanics and don't profess, as you do, to know all).
The position, if one dares to assume that the wealth of knowledge available on Wikipedia is superior to your own, seems to be:
".........the stopping force provided by using the handbrake instead of or in addition to the footbrake is usually small and would not significantly aid in stopping the vehicle, again because it usually operates on the rear wheels which suffer reduced traction compared to the fronts while braking." (my emphasis).
On that basis, it is logical to assume that the handbrake would offer some resistance, at least initially, making towing more difficult - unless as Bitter suggests it is not being used at all in reliance on an automatic transmission locking mechanism.
You should really stop and think yourself before attempting to start another unnecessarily heated debate which will inevitably end in you running out of logical argument and resorting to profanity! ::)
Having spent those few minutes looking at Wiki and addressing you, I've spent more of my day on you than you deserve. Accordingly, you will henceforth be ignored. Have a great day!! :beermug:

Yes dumbass... but read carefully, what yuh fuhget to highlight is that
"the stopping force provided by using the handbrake instead of or in addition to the footbrake is usually small and would not significantly aid in stopping the vehicle". Consequently you nitwit... the hand brake wouldn't offer any significant resistance to the vehicle being towed. But feel free to come back and post about how hard yuh ignoring mih yuh dunce.
Yuh should change yuh name tuh Pur_Cunni cuz dat is exactly how yuh sounding right now.

And to the various people who PMd me about this guy - I know!!

You should have conceded defeat after my last post - that hole you're digging for yourself becomes ever deeper! Nevertheless, I appreciate that you wish to engage in discussion with someone intellectually superior to yourself, and while I am flattered by your unsolicited attention I really am not interested! Clearly, you lack the capacity to express yourself without the use of words like "dumbass" - but I forgive you having realised that your frustration probably stems from the lack of attention you were given as a child, or from the fact that you are lonely.
Incidentally, it's not a matter of "shoo shoo" - it's a matter of fact that a significant number of people on this board have concluded that you are an ass (I put it kindly!) and, realising that your life is so empty that you spend the majority of your days posting, they pity you and/or prefer not to waste their time with you. For my part, if I can offer you any kind of moral support then, despite your desire to argue, I will gladly give it. If you take offence by that offer, by all means express your further frustration. I will, however, remain happy with the knowledge that I was kind enough to bring to your attention the perception most have of you. If you have any intelligence whatever, you will seek to rectify this.
I sincerely wish you well, Bake n Shark!

LOL... Pur_Cunni please. Try dat high school psychoanalysis bull shit on somebody else. Your arms too short tuh box with me fella... yuh mouth longer dan yuh reach.

When I was home last month , a pardner park on a corner on the avenue to pik up some take away.
All we do is pay make the pick up plus 2 stag and went back to the car , we did not spend more than 5 mins ( enough time for mih tuh give ex-min Boynes fatigue about he bad back ). Car gone !!!
Walk up to the Woodbrook station see the car an check the officer at the table , he ask for drivers permit , get the insurance out the car pay $100 an wait for a receipt. Again for the most was 10mins.
During that time the wrecker tow in 2 cars.
Them boys ent wasting no time looking for people an with the indiscriminate parking on the avenue on a Friday evening/night, they may be right not to do so, the only thing with that would be an emergency situation (like if yuh pull up yuh car to rush a woman who choking on a drumstick and to heavy for the ambulance attendants to lift . Still pissed off with the FAB).
Anyhow that was my recent experience.

From the few cars i had, a good working parking/ hand brakes will lock the rear wheels .
Even if the car moving at a decent rate and apply the hand brake, it will lock the rear wheels causing the car to skid and eventually stop.
Allyuh never see man pull they hand brake and spin round dey car ?
Anyhow, if yuh getting towed and u handbrakes applied, then yuh back wheels will give a fair bit of resistence until, they give out i guess. It wont be enough to stop the towing vehicle, but the towed car may be bouncing/hopping around a bit.
What them fellas may do is literally drag ure car away, or put the back of your car on a set of extra towing wheels (i dont know what the proper names is) they carry around in the wrecker.
-
From the few cars i had, a good working parking/ hand brakes will lock the rear wheels .
Even if the car moving at a decent rate and apply the hand brake, it will lock the rear wheels causing the car to skid and eventually stop.

yeah a reputable wrecker will use a tow dolly because of that brake problem and because of automatic transmission

daiz the thing self.......
Reputable is right.
From time to time I see actual police wreckers (with logo) dragging vehicles up the highway. The vehicles were probably those crashed and stolen ones they does have in their yard until they rotten down.
Anyhow, they just jack up the front and drag these things away even though some of them have no tires or they jacked soo high the tail of the vehicle dragging. Hear nah, them police wotless, the vehicles does be disintegrating going up the road leaving a trail of debris, plenty noise and a few sparks.
lol we pullice eh easy nah.

Sammy... I cannot tell you conclusively that applying the handbrake will NOT lock the backwheels, I can't tell you what yuh experience was. What I will tell you is that usually that will not happen. Handbrakes ordinarily are not that effective as to lock the rear wheels. That maneuver you talking about happens because you turn the steering wheel at the same time so that the wheels are skidding sideways in a circle.
http://www.modernracer.com/tips/handbraketurn.html
under that sceario the wheels will skid b/c momentum is taking the car into a turn, not because the wheels lock up. If a car is moving in a straight line (especially if moving forward) the handbrake will pose no significant impediment to it being moved. I know because my first car (Isuzu Trooper) I had to replace the engine so it sat immobile for a year. In that time the rear brakes locked up and 'froze' and it was being towed it squealed at first but eventually was rolling. So if frozen brakes wasn't enough to prevent the towing, there's no way a simple handbrake will. But men could believe what they want.
-
As a person who make a 10 min trip with the hand brakes UP (2nd time I ever drive), I will say dat de car will roll, but de brake pads does smoke for a good 20 mins after yuh stop. :)
-
I eh know if is true but I hear this is illegal.
The officer is supposed to come out and make an attempt to locate the driver....walk around the car at least.
Heard that from two sources. But hardly anyone going to take it beyond quarelling with the officer before handing over the money.
This is true, it is illegal. The law actually states that the officer must try to locate the owner of the vehicle before it can be towed. Clearly this was not done in either of these cases
I would be really surprised if that was the law... because that law would make no sense.
Bakes yuh didn't read mih earlier post? I heard a woman police officer explain the entire process in detail, this is the law....
-

Nah, didn't see the post... that being so the law makes no sense though. Waste of police time and resources to have them track down somebody who car parked illegally. If the car is disabled the driver should stay with the vehicle or provide proof after the fact that it was disabled. For instance here in the US you could produce a note from your mechanic attesting to the fact that the car was inoperable at the time.
-
pulling up de hand breakes when yuh driving fast sometimes does cause de car to spin...one time ah woman was driving meh and she piss me off and when ah tell she stop she speed up..so I pull de f**king hand brakes and de car take a wicked twist we end up facing where we did jes come from.
Dat said, hand brakes doh stop cra from getting towed...DONT!

If they find the driver it faster to write the ticket and make them move the car than tow it back all the way to the savannah or sea lots....they cud write a ticket, make them move and then move on the next car one time. I assume the objectives are to move the car and punish the driver so to me ticketing is faster. Except the wrecker eh getting any money and the officer have to do more talking and more work than just sitting in the passenger side of the wrecker.
As for how many people paying their ticket...dais a next story.
-
And as for paying the ticket, where yuh get the ticket yuh have to pay there. So if yuh from Arima and get ah ticket in South, yuh have to find yuh tail back in South to pay it.....lord fadder who does come up with these things?? ??? :-\
I remember when I was in Germany for the WC, my host got charged for not paying the right fare on the train for his trip. As far as I could tell, the officer had a device with him and appeared to take his bank/credit card and the payment was made right there on the spot....I think that's what happened, I'll have to double check with him on the process.
That was ah experience dread, after the officer take we off the train, my host and officer was conversing in German over the issue and I stand up dey confused, confused.
Then the man ask for mih ID and one time, one time I get frighten and start to think dey going and haul mih down to the station, throw mih in ah interrogation room, question mih relentlessly and then jail mih.....*sigh* I watch too much TV..... ;D

The primary objective should be to clear the roadway... I remember being confused one evening while I was in DC, seeing cars parked on the grass, under trees all kinda thing. I knew they were tourists because of the general area where we were. I didn't figure it out until I saw the tickets on the windshield. The wrecker towed them off the road and right onto the grass.
Understandably that's not an option in TnT but the way allyuh talking about "all the way to the savannah or sea lots" you'd swear either one is 10 miles away or something... them thing right there. Trinidad to blasted backward. I was under the assumption that these were police vehicles towing the cars not a private tow truck with a constable riding along. That is nonsense. Traffic branch should have their own tow trucks and a dedicated impound lot... although the savannah is a decent alternative. There's no reason for police to have to pay to use a wrecker when you're renting one everyday... just buy one (or two, or three) and done. Only in Trinidad it would make sense to give 'way public money like dat and even so, to have police tracking man down to move they car.
As for paying, this is why there should be a dedicated impound lot with a facility on-site to process payments. If you must use the savannah have a mobile unit there (as they probably do)... and have multiple locations where tickets can be paid too. But what I talking, as it is there's still only one location issuing licenses.
-
If you tow a car from downtown it will take a while for the tow truck to go to sea lots or the savannah and come back...up to 30mins with traffic. So in some cases it will be faster to write a ticket and make the driver move...10mins. That way you will clear the road faster.
Some places so close to the impound towing might be faster considering the officers might take their time writing up ticket and arguing with the person.
I believe we always used 3rd party wreckers and it better that way because no way they would clear the road as fast as they are now if is a police run operation. The wreckers have an incentive to do their job quickly. Just a matter of whether they following the law and not doing a shortcut ting which they will naturally do...the officer is really the one responsible for following proper procedure. It really would take less than a minute to come out the wrecker and walk around the car and/or speak to whoever shows themself as the owner.
If is the law they should follow it not so? Is not an unreasonable law and it not really slowing them down because as brownsugar say the police themselves had a representative on TV telling people what supposed to happen!!
And I see that same credit card ting on the train ....dem doh stick at all nah. Trinis get a shock with efficiency and following rules over there.

makes no sense, suppose yuh take 10 minutes or more trying to find a driver...tow dem dat law dotish too bad, yuh park in a no-parking area and expect de police to tell yuh take dis ticket and move? steups!

If the owner shows up before towing, then fine, ticket him, make him move...once the car is connected...tow iot, no breaks set a hard example..LAWLESSNESS at any level NOT TOLERATED!

girl I remember it cause they run it so many times and me and the parents were sitting around watching and laughing. My father had to kill it after a while with "that woman is a damned fool. If she park her car in a bad spot ent they must tow it steeeuppps" Then he use that opportunity to lecture the moms on why you mustn't park in a bad spot. I was too young to have a license then but it was funny as hell. The next day in school thats all anyone could talk about.

Yeah that was a big story, man she cry for so. The only other time I remember "big news" (apart from the coup) was when the man climb up to the top of Sando Hospital and jump off after threatening to do so for a while. The first broadcast they apparently showed the actual impact, I had just left the room to go grab a drink. All the other broadcasts they censor it though. Come to school the next day everyone talking bout how he fall. I was so vex I miss it. >:(
