This smart sticker helps drivers avoid car towing. Currently seeking finances on crowdfunding site Indiegogo, TowStop is a sticker you put on your car that alerts you if your vehicle is about to be towed.
Even though parking restrictions exist for the safety and security of the people, this sticker helps parking enforcement officers and car owners communicate better. The sticker says 'Please Do Not Tow Away' and contains a button for police to press. When parking inspectors press the button, it dials a pre-set phone number, allowing the driver to come back to the vehicle immediately. While you can't always avoid car towing, the TowStop will definitely help in situations where you are nearby.
