Illegally parked cars are to be towed away I believe...hitting a parked car is not legal as PC said.
A friend who lived near a railway station told me that when cars parked in their driveway and they couldn't get out they had them towed away, so I imagine that it's legal to do so, at the person who broke-the-law's cost and that they didn't have any other option in order to get to work themselves in both cases.
The thing is when you hit a car, you go into shock...if it's a situation you've been in before you do the automatic things...if not..then it's not so easy to process what to do. Sometimes it's a case of knowing what to do next time.
