CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Monday night a number of Charlotte tow truck drivers told the city council its plans to fight so-called "predatory towing" are a bad idea -- and would actually be dangerous.
Tow truck drivers say the two parts of the proposed new rules that are dangerous are a requirement for them to be available to give cars back 24 hours a day, plus a requirement they wait and check with police to see if a car's stolen before towing it.

"We have people that come to the lot very irate," said a woman with one towing company. "They're cussing, they're screaming, and it's a dangerous situation for not only the consumer, but the drivers as well."
Drivers are also upset about a part of the proposed rules that would force them to wait and check with police to make sure a car is not stolen before towing it. They say irate drivers may also threaten them while they're waiting.
