Really, if they are the equivalent of a parking ticket, then why was my sister's car towed for having a suspended license? Yep, it happened on Friday and she could not get the car back until Monday. She paid $350 to the towing company and $100 to lakewood city hall. Please explain?

I would be happy to explain. Please go to my Avvo profile page and click on the green Lawyers Website button. Once at my website, please click on the Contact Us tab and complete the form to send me a confidential email. I will need your wife's full name and date of birth (hence the need for a confidential email) to check some case some information (I'm assuming this happened in Washington state).
