Sec. 8-518. - Unlawful solicitation.

It is unlawful for the owner or agent of any wrecker or towing service to go to any place where an accident has occurred for the purpose of soliciting business, unless called by the police dispatcher, the owner, or the operator of a disabled vehicle. Responding to a call upon notice from gas station attendants, taxicab drivers or other unauthorized persons shall be considered a violation of this article. No such owner or agent shall drive along or park on any street, bridge or highway within the city for the purpose of soliciting wrecker or towing service. The appearance of any wrecker at the scene of any wreck without having been notified to come to such scene by proper authority shall constitute prima facie evidence of violation of this article.
