Victoria as far from the ideal situation. There are still bottom feeder towies who prey on the vulnerable to line their own pockets, the threat of a $100,000 fine plus isn't enough to deter them as the authorities rarely do anything about it.
Third party recovery shops are just as bad, making hollow promises and holding peoples cars hostage for their own benefit. Not only that, they are devaluing peoples cars by performing work on them that is simply not required, such as respraying a car inside and out just for a quarter panel replacement. The panel repair industry is one of the most dictated to industries in Australia. If you speak out about an insurer they will black list you, they drive prices down while putting premiums up. It's all about returns to shareholders, they don't give a **** about you or your car.

Post accident stress or not, gotta wonder how stupid &/or thoughtless some people are.
If I have a smash, either at fault or not, the first thing I'd do is call my insurer. They organise the tow, the assessor, the repairs etc. I would LMAO if some tow jockey rocked up, without having been asked, & "offered" to tow my car to a repairer. First thing they'd likely do is rip my sound system out & later claim there wasn't one there! |

Unless of course they're CGU, where they put you on hold for in excess of 1.5hrs, and ultimately don't answer your call at all, because their phone system kicks you off after that.

it's quoting NSW troubles not VIC...
also haven't your mob down there done with stickers aswell.. telling where to tow it is pointless if your not in control of your faculties.
