CCPD: No insurance? You get towed | Corpus Christi, TX | KZTV10.com |

CORPUS CHRISTI -- Corpus Christi police say it's a crime that goes unpunished all too often: driving without insurance.

And the numbers are staggering: 25 percent of drivers in Nueces County are not insured. Over 4,000 citations have been issued in the last 6 months. 1,000 plus accidents in 2009 involved a driver with no insurance.

"Beginning January 1, if you do not have insurance, we're going to tow the vehicle," said CCPD Chief Troy Riggs.

Corpus Christi police haven't had much choice up until now---their impound lot has been full. Chief Riggs says with monthly auctions of cars that aren't picked up, it'll make room for cars towed for not having insurance.
