How Quickly a Recovery Truck Reaches Lisburn
Car Tow NI, a Belfast-based vehicle recovery company, covers vehicle recovery across Lisburn and the rest of Northern Ireland. How long you wait depends on where the vehicle has stopped and how the roads are running, and a local truck reaches a main road faster than a country lane.
How quickly can a recovery truck reach you in Lisburn?
It depends on where you are and what the roads are doing. A car stopped on a main road through Lisburn is reached faster than one up a back lane. Car Tow NI runs a local network rather than a national call centre, so the nearest truck is usually close by.
Ask for an honest estimate when you call rather than settling for a vague answer. A straight time is far easier to plan around. If the wait changes, you should be told.
Is it illegal to tow a vehicle with a tow strap?
Not in itself, but there are conditions: the rope or strap has to be within the legal length, made clearly visible if it is long, and the towed vehicle needs a qualified driver at the wheel and jump start Belfast an ON TOW sign. On a motorway the rules are tighter still, and it is not a place to begin a rope tow.
Can a motorbike be moved without damaging it?
A motorbike is not a small car and it does not travel like one. It has two wheels, paintwork that marks and no convenient place to hook on. Done properly it means a chock, soft straps and a flat deck.
Tell the operator it is a bike rather than a car, so the correct equipment comes out. Say roughly what it is, since a tourer and a small commuter bike load differently.
What happens if I don't report a car accident within 24 hours?
If you did not exchange details at the scene you must report it to the police as soon as is practicable, and in any event within 24 hours, and failing to do so is an offence. Insurers set their own reporting window in the policy wording, which is a different clock entirely.
What happens once the vehicle is on the truck?
You choose the destination. Your own garage, a main dealer, a bodyshop, or home to your own driveway. Work it out while you are waiting, because it affects the price.
If the garage is closed, say so. A few are happy for a car to be left on the forecourt, others are not. One call now avoids a second recovery tomorrow.
