(B) In those instances where exigent circumstances or where the immediate clearing of a public thoroughfare mandates an expedited towing service, owner preference shall be honored when the owner has requested a towing service that is located in the particular towing zone where services are to be rendered and is ready to promptly respond to the request for services.
