What legal classification does a vehicle removed due to abandonment receive if its owner does not claim it within 15 days?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The traffic regulations (Road Safety Law) establish that if a vehicle is removed by the authority because it has been abandoned and its owner neither files objections nor collects it from the impound lot within 15 days of notification, the competent Administration will order it to be treated as 'Urban Solid Waste'. This means sending it to an Authorized Treatment Center (scrapyard) for decontamination and destruction. The options 'toxic' and 'disposable' are not the correct legal terms used in the law for this administrative procedure.
