In Cagliari, those who remove cars with a tow truck did not have the license to do so

In Cagliari , those who drive the tow truck that removes illegally parked cars did not have the license to do so.

A paradox that emerged from a report received from within the local police force, which forced the company that grants the service, Cosir, to run for cover. And employees to enroll in driving school: they will take the exam in the middle of the month.

The trouble has erupted in recent weeks. It has been discovered that crane truck drivers are in possession of the C driving licence, which allows them to be behind the wheel of a vehicle weighing up to 3,500 kilos carrying a trailer weighing less than or equal to 750. But an average car weighs more .

And here's the catch: to tow it you need, at least, the CE license. And the company's employees didn't have it. Therefore: they could drive up to the vehicle to be sanctioned and removed, but once hooked up for transport in the depot in viale Monastir, they no longer had the right to do so.

For this reason, three of them have recently traveled on tow trucks: there is the local police officer, the old driver now enrolled in driving school, and another person who has all the necessary licenses. Waiting for the exam.

The doubt raised by someone is: will the removals made by those who were not entitled to them be valid? The parking penalty sure is. And from the Municipality they let it be known that there would be no margin for challenging the minutes on the removal and the costs for the deposit.
