Truck Driver: "And yes, you will have to pay for this as well!" When something is impounded it means that it is under  legal custody because of a law infringement of sorts.  Waht is impounded should be something really valuable such as  a car, a computer or even documents.  That is the most usual use of the word IMPOUND as a verb, but it could also mean Lock Up or even Hold Back. For purposes of this entry we will use only the most well-known meaning. In this case the translation is CONFISCAR. vehicles  parked  where they cause an  obstruction will be impounded
