City rules take initial control of your breakdown out of your hands

[why?]

Maybe they lied to him about what was in the bill. I actually like to listen to Michael Berry, he is usually very entertaining. And it comes through loud and clear that Houston is seriously messed up government wide.

Even Mass wouldn't think about trying that unless it is a major intersection with nowhere to move the vehicles.

There are far too many idiotic automobile laws. Frankly that one is outright theft.

Could be. I don't listen to him as much as I used to, but I agree...and I love that people have to deal with the meat of what he is saying, or just look foolish if they change the subject. Has to be one or the other...they can't take the third option (playing the race card) without also looking foolish because his wife is Indian and his two sons are black.

Particular tow companies must have lobbied quite hard/exerted influence to get the law passed The government in Houston is messed up, and this bleeds into other parts of Harris County (one reason I would never live in Harris County). I once heard Houston (the city, not the metro) described as an island of blue in a sea of red.

Yup, Houston and Austin are oddballs.
