Hi,
I'm trying to find whether there is a special word for a kind of vehicle.
If your car breaks down while on your way somewhere you might have to have your car towed to a garage, in which case a breakdown truck would do the job.
But, what if your car is parked where it shouldn't and the authorities decide to remove it? Is the vehicle doing the job a breakdown truck or is there a different name? (My question arises from the fact that the car is not broken down, it's just improperly parked!)
