    Default Re: My Husband's Car Was Towed Illegally

    Given the definition, an argument could be made about the term dashboard and its use based on the owner's upbringing. I say this because I was raised that a "dash" is front and rear and must defined as to which is represented.

    It could also be aruged that it was placed on the rear panel to facilitate easier observation based on close proximity to the car next to you. May not win, but trying is free
    Later in life, I learned the proper terms, "instrument panel" and "rear panel". It is open for interpetation as to what they meant.

    Here, we have a really aggressive parking enforcement company called "Robbins" and they will stand at the meters if they are about to expire, ready to call the tow trucks. Unfortunately, in order to correct a situation with them, you must pay the fees then sue them to recover losses. Often times, the cost of suit is around the same as the fees, thus making it not financially advantagous.

    Can you find a dictionary that defines a "dashboard" as being at the rear of the car, even as a non-standard or archaic use?

    If you can establish that the company that towed your car authorized the placement of the ticket in the rear of the car despite the language on the sign, that would be a defense to the towing.
