Towing measures

  • Performance specification

    We can always have vehicles towed away if parked vehicles obstruct or endanger other road users. For example, if you park in an absolute no-stopping zone, on escape routes or in disabled parking spaces.

    In addition, deregistered or unroadworthy vehicles with or without registration plates are towed away in public traffic areas or in the open countryside.

    If your car has been towed away, you can contact the city of Beckum during regular office hours. Outside office hours, you can obtain information about the whereabouts of your towed vehicle from the Beckum police station (telephone number: 02521 911 0).

    You can then collect the vehicle from the towing company by presenting your identity card and vehicle registration document.
