Long story short, my license was suspended for 12hrs and my car was impounded for DUI.

Im not the registered owner of the car.
I called busters towing, they said i need an authorization letter which i faxed but when i called again, they now said i need the registered owner to come in and claim it.

my mother is the registered owner but she is out of town until dec. because my grandpa is sick...

the person on the line said my best bets were to call the manager.

any help is appreciated.

[StylinRed]

i hope you die without injuring anyone else

[k20a]

Find another way home pizza boy!

[J-Chow]

Suspension + Impounded = Pwned
DUI = Fail

Your best bet is to wait until your mother comes back and then realizes that you got the car impounded because you were drinking and driving, and then lays the smack down.

But hey, you'll eventually get the car back! :thumbsup:

[JesseBlue]

trolling..

[Autorice]

call the manager and see if they will charge your storage for a whole month until your mom gets back. IF they say no charges or whatever arrangements you make, ask for it in writing. these tow places make their $$$ on storage.

[ilvtofu]

why don't you just pay for the impound fees?

you are the reason why innocent ppl die on the road and our insurance rates are god damn expensive

should put your ass in jail

[seakrait]

did you get a sec.215 24hr suspension or a FAIL for blowing over? they're quite different from one another. one's a Motor Vehicle Act violation, the other is a Criminal Code violation. both with very different legal consequences.

in any case, you said that you had an authorization letter? from whom? the registered owner (ie: your mother)?

[GabAlmighty]

My friend had the exactl same scenario as you, with his moms car and gettng a 24hr. He was able to bring the car back the next day, his mom never found out that the car was impounded, so it can be done.

And ya, if you can get that thing out of there or you'll get raped to shit.

[penner2k]

wtf.. since when do they give out 12 hour suspensions?
I thought the min. was 24 hours.

For all you people giving him shit.. I hope you realize just how easy it is to get a 24 hour.
If you go by what they typically say you can drink per hour without blowing over I'd be completely sober.

[KuSouL]

the car is under your mom's name but who's the primary driver?

i was under the impression that if you're neither the registered owner or primary driver you shouldn't be driving the car?

if you are one or the other you should be able to pick up the car

and if busters insist on being anal probably get your mom to sign and fax

[Djiban]

is it true that if u get caught DUI, u'll get a criminal record?

I believe a DUI is a criminal matter. A 24 hour might just effect your insurance..

I think you have the wrong information or maybe my insurance rep was giving me the wrong info(doubt it though). I'm pretty sure ANYONE can drive the car IF they have consensus from the owner/primary driver AND their insurance states that anyone can drive it(which is usually the case unless they have the "Class 5 only" restriction. Granted they have a valid BC DL.

I know cause I asked @ this thread, http://www.revscene.net/forums/driving-friends-car-t593794.html

PS: It's not me lol unless his mom drives a 100k+ car

Why did his car get impounded anyways? Is it because hes not the owner/primary driver or is it because he was drunk(DUI) or both? I haven't gotten pulled over yet *knock on wood* and it'd be gay if they impounded my friends car if I'm just driving it and not breaking any laws, like speeding or DUI.

[asahai69]

lol. i remember back when i was 18 i got the car impounded. car was under moms name and i managed to get it out without her finding out. its quite the sneak/long process. haha

let me clear this up. im a N driver and i blew .9. i was fine to drive but i got pulled over for a random check. the fact that my face was red, gave it away. the officer gave me a fail to display N ticket and called the towtruck. i know im a N driver and shouldnt have any alcohol in my system. i have learned my lesson.

anyways, i already have a signed authorization letter and a picture of my mothers license; which i have faxed to them but for the third time they said i was misinformed because i apparently need the registered owner (my mother) to come and claim it.

any HELP would be much appreciated. i work full-time and go to school as well. it costs $21.50 each day my car is there :cry:

Either way you are gonna end up losing your license for a year and most likely get a pretty big fine too..

I believe anything under .08 they will most likely just give you a 24 hour.

Maybe try to get your father to help you get the car back. Argue that this is your parent's car and your mom decided to register it under her name because she has the most discount. I'm just throwing it out there. *shrug*

So what have we learned here today:

1. DO NOT DUI. EVER.
2. If you do get the car impounded again, do not post on RS because you will get burned.
3. I bet you're Chinese. Face getting red easily, mom's insurance. So its about time to grow up and save money for your own insurance. I kinda have a feeling this is a Mercedes too, so therefore you should downgrade to a Japanese car, insurance is relatively cheaper. Also, girls wont be digging you just for your gold.

[jlenko]

Uhh... no. You're an N driver, and NO ALCOHOL AT ALL means you're OK to drive.

[3seriesBeeM]

.08 is legal limit so you blew over that I would have a little more sympathy for you if you blew under the .08 and got suspended because of your N but dumbasses like you should not be on the road. Even if you had your full license you would still get the suspension becausae you were over legal limit. Look forward to a long suspension and a large fine down the road and hopefully the cops pursue charges.

holy run-on sentences, Batman. That was so hard to read. I've got a headache now.

[slammer111]

Blowing over 0.05 is a 24h suspension. Blowing 0.08 is a DUI which is a criminal charge. Sorry buddy, you may have learned your lesson, but the whopping from your mother and ICBC are coming down the pipe for you. 0.09 is a LOT. I once drove while "feeling buzzed" (back in tha day) and blew only 0.021. By 0.04 I probably wouldn't be able to walk straight.

It's strange how you need your mother to pick it up directly. Maybe you can call your mom at the impound office and have the guy speak to her directly? I would try this if they actually stop you at the impound office.

I had my company car (not owned/insured/registered by me) impounded once. Just walked in, showed, my DL, paid up, and picked up the car. Not sure why they're giving you so much hassle.

The story makes no sense. The machine they use at the side of the road doesn't show you the BAC reading. The only way you can find out your true BAC reading is if you're arrested and you blow into the machine at the police station.

The one I blew into had a small red LED readout.

[Eff-1]

It has a readout, but from what I remember, it only shows numbers if you blow under 0.05. Anything above will only show a warn light, and a fail light. That's how the units are setup.

I dont think they can randomly pull you over. I've actually had the cops follow me almost all the way home before from the club parking lot waiting for me to make a mistake. On nights that I drive I dont have more then a couple drinks though so I dont really care if they pull me over.

i think that's changed now... or will be changed.

as for the OP, if he's still an N driver, that's also another FAIL as i think you can't have ANY alcohol in your body while you're in the graduated licensing program. yes/no? it takes a while for the 215 to catch up to ICBC licensing but when they do, they'll pull your license for X period of time...

[TRDood]

so how many beers/wine/hard liquor equal to 0.05?

is it a linear scale from 0.05 to 0.09 (like the OP)? or is it something like a richter scale where its exponential?

[CRS]

so how many beers/wine/hard liquor equal to 0.05?

is it a linear scale from 0.05 to 0.09 (like the OP)? or is it something like a richter scale where its exponential?

It is measuring the concentration of alcohol in your blood. So it is linear scale since you are measuring mass/volume.

You can't do a simple how many beers/wine/shots is equal to 0.05 as your BAC is dependent on a lot of variables like weight, sex and body fat. Obviously if you're bigger, it takes more alcohol to increase the BAC to .05 but for a smaller person it would take less.

I hope that helps.

[Soundy]

I dont think they can randomly pull you over.

They sure can... even if just to check that your license and registration/insurance are valid.

as for the OP, if he's still an N driver, that's also another FAIL as i think you can't have ANY alcohol in your body while you're in the graduated licensing program. yes/no?

Yes. GLP restrictions, both L and N, include *ZERO* tolerance for alcohol.

Anyone who's done the GLP shouldn't even be curious about that - they should have drilled that into your head when you were taking the written test.

I hope that helps.

BAC = Blood Alcohol Content. To be precise, it's the percentage of your blood that's actually alcohol. The numbers listed are exact percentages, as in 0.08%, which would be 8 parts alcohol to every 10,000 parts blood.

[twitchyzero]

Under BAC 0.05% with a Class 5 = no suspension AND no fine?
