Car recovery charges ripoff!

Recommended Posts

How can the police get away with passing their costs on to us motorists?

 

I was recently involved in an incident where a man walked out right in front of my car, and even though i slammed on i hit him. He had to go to hospital and the police took my car for forensic tests on the brakes and tyres.

 

I was told the fault lay completely with the guy, my car was fine and i could pick it up. I rang the number i was given straight away and was told i have to pay £150 to get it back!

 

Im the innocent party and i dont see how they can make me foot the bill for the police doing tests on my car. i would understand if any of it was my fault but its not.

 

has anyone had any experience of this and is it even legal??

it's just the same if your car gets stolen they charge to store it when recovered a right money making racket.
