Impound Notification
Phone Notification of car/bike impound
Having a text message being sent to the user's phone to inform them that their vehicle has been impounded, will help to give them some clarification as to what happened to their car, bike or truck, for example.
The only way currently to find out how much a fine is or the duration of a state impound is to have a law enforcement officer look through the MDT for you.
A message like below could be sent:
"Your vehicle has been impounded!
A fine of $5,000 needs to be paid, upon its release, in [x] hours.
[x] strike points has been added to your vehicle's registration history"
Something along those lines, for example.

Done, but without the strike points stuff.

It would be helpful as well to have it listed on your phone as "Impounded", instead of not found as well.

This is also true, as I was a bit confused as to the location of my car, until I personally checked impound and was told to "come by later".
But indeed, any further form of information that we can obtain via going to impound and speaking to the local worker or the text message, which be extremely helpful.
As more people get their own cars, this will be something, which will be vital, in my opinion.
