Proposed Towing Regulations
 

In regards to the proposed towing regulations, the towing community seems to thoroughly

confused about government proposals once again. The regulations are confusing and hard to

understand. They are going to be very costly to small towing companies trying to make a living.

Most operator- owners cannot afford to travel  and pay  to take courses on what they already now

how  to do.

How many towing companies will not be able to work accidents and work with law enforcement

efficiently if the proposed regulations go into effect?  Law enforcement  and the general public will

put at the mercy of those few huge towing companies that can afford to comply and who charge

large fees to do what  a smaller company could do if  regulations were not so demanding. In theory

will not only the small tower  suffer but also the public. We feel regulations do need to be in place,

but not the the point of discouraging the industry. Please keep the small towing companies  in mind

when re-developing the regulations.

Thank you
