Call 110 or 122 When Blocked by Another Car?

You can call either 110 or 122, but in some cases, the owner might have changed their phone number and cannot be reached. It is recommended that all car owners place a contact number for moving their car on their vehicle. This way, if your car blocks someone else's, they can call you directly to move it, which is the fastest solution. Here are the steps to take when your car is blocked: 1. Look around: Walk around the other car carefully, especially checking the driver's side window and the front windshield, to see if the owner has left any contact information. If there is a phone number, call it directly. However, most car owners nowadays are reluctant to leave their contact details due to concerns about harassment. 2. Contact the other party's insurance company: Call the insurance company and falsely claim that you accidentally scratched the car, providing the model and license plate number of the other car. The customer service will then notify the owner to come and handle the accident. To avoid liability, the insurance company will actively contact the owner. Upon hearing that their car has been scratched, the owner will likely return quickly.

Getting blocked by another car is quite common. Based on my experience of driving for over a decade, I've encountered this situation several times. Each time, I would directly call 122, as 122 is a dedicated traffic police service specifically handling such matters, including vehicle obstructions and traffic accidents. 110 is mainly for emergency situations, such as fights, robberies, or dangerous incidents. Therefore, if your car is simply blocked without involving any crime, don't call 110 and occupy their resources. I suggest first checking if there's a contact number in the car or asking nearby security guards. If you can't find the owner, then call 122. They handle such cases quickly and might tow the car or contact the owner to move it. Finally, I'd like to remind everyone to leave enough space when parking to avoid causing trouble for others and prevent such unpleasant situations. Developing a habit of checking your parking spot regularly can help avoid many conflicts.

The first time I encountered my car being blocked, I panicked a bit, unsure whether to call 110 or 122. Later, I checked online and found that 122 is specifically for traffic-related issues, such as traffic jams and accident reports, while 110 is the police hotline for criminal matters. So now I always call 122. If the car owner can't be found, 122 will quickly dispatch traffic police to handle the situation, which is very efficient. Calling 110 might actually delay the resolution. It's best to calmly walk around the car first to see if there's any contact information or ask the property management for help. It's also recommended to install a traffic app like 12123 for convenience—just one click to report your location. Remember not to act impulsively; solving the problem is what matters most. With a little patience, you can always sort it out.

Safety comes first. If a car is blocked and not handled, it may pose dangers, such as obstructing an exit and affecting traffic. In such cases, you should call 122, as they specialize in vehicle-related services, which is not within the scope of 110. 110 is only for emergency criminal incidents, such as assaults or distress calls. If the traffic blockage does not pose a hazard, it should not be disturbed. I always confirm whether the situation is urgent first. For example, if a car is blocking a fire lane, I call 122 for help. 122 can promptly dispatch personnel to coordinate or move the vehicle. In case of disputes between drivers, you can also report it to 122 for handling. In short, identifying the correct number can efficiently resolve the trouble.
