This actually was a wooden bridge that had just been crossed by a pickup and was followed by the Focus, thinking that the bridge was just slightly under the top of the water, when in fact it had collapsed. It doesn’t look like too much water in the pics, but the car was actually submerged enough for water to be flowing over the seats when we got there.

Turned out to be a rental car – OOPS. Good thing for insurance, huh?

That there are many people out there with tow trucks towing YOUR CAR that are not insured to do so? How can you tell the difference? Here are a couple of ways:

* Make sure the trucks are registered commercially. That means that their license plate will have the entire word “Commercial” printed on them and that they are not a wrecker plate (i.e., 999 W), in which case the truck is not authorized to tow commercially, but is only covered for towing their own business vehicles.

Note that just because they say “Commercial” does NOT mean they are fully covered. ALSO ASK FOR:

* Ask them to provide evidence of their “On Hook” insurance coverage. In order to obtain on hook coverage for vehicles being towed for hire, you must register the vehicle and pay additional insurance costs. This is why a lot of companies try to avoid the extra insurance. [...]
