An abandoned, unlicensed and uninsured vehicle was towed from Pearson Road and Hagman Crescent last week Tuesday at 1:30 p.m., said Sgt. Rose.
Sgt. Rose says the vehicle was covered in a foot and half of snow, and blocked the road from being cleared by district snow plowers when it was towed under the municipality Bylaw 331, which prevents vehicles from parking on a roadway in such a way that blocks snow clearing efforts.
According to Bylaw 331 any vehicles parked on a municipal right of way between Oct. 15 and April 15, 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. may be towed at the owners expense.
Sgt. Rose encourages people to park off the roadway, especially during snowfall, so that snow plows are not blocked.
"Otherwise people may come out to discover their vehicle missing," said Sgt. Rose.

Sgt. Rose says the vehicle was impounded and the driver issued a 24 hour driver prohibition, for speeding relative to conditions and having too many passengers for their class seven licence.
