Who is legally obliged to assume the expenses caused by the immobilization and towing of a vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the registered owner of the vehicle. According to traffic regulations, any expenses arising from the immobilization, towing, and impoundment (storage) of the vehicle are always the responsibility of the registered owner. It is crucial to distinguish between the fine (sanction), which is paid by the offender (driver), and the costs associated with the object (vehicle), which are assumed by the owner. If the vehicle was used without authorization (theft), the costs would not fall on the owner. The other options are incorrect because immobilization generates operational costs (tow truck, staff, custody), and traffic agents never assume these costs personally.
