Definition : Towing

Action of moving an immobilized or broken-down vehicle by pulling or pushing it using another vehicle, usually equipped with a specific device, such as a tow truck. This operation can also be carried out to remove vehicles that are parked without authorization or abandoned in the common or private portions of a co-ownership. Towing services may be governed by the declaration of co-ownership or municipal regulations, as is notably the case in the city of Montreal.
