I am not a lawyer nor an expert in Jewish Law but I have a friend who managers a warehouse who needs to have his trucks loaded and on the road before 6 AM. He is the one who told me. The tow operator takes the car to his lot and notifies the owner who then must pay towing and storage and pick up the car. A lien is put on the car for these charges and they can auction the car to pay these fees.
Do you think a business can afford thousand of dollars in lost sales while they wait around for the police to write out a summons which doesn’t clear the driveway. Sometimes you have to take the law into your own hands. They also puts up signs warning people not to block the driveway but they still occasionally block the driveway.
