Can I call 110 for vehicle relocation?

Car owners can call 110 for vehicle relocation. Generally, 110 will transfer the call to a dedicated vehicle relocation hotline to handle the request. Below is relevant information: 1. Calling 114 for vehicle relocation: You can call 114 for vehicle relocation by providing the other party's license plate number to the operator. The operator will then locate the owner's phone number and notify them. The prerequisite for calling 114 is that the car owner must have previously registered their phone number with 114. If the owner has not registered with 114, the service cannot retrieve the owner's information. 2. Insurance company: Typically, there is an insurance logo on the upper right corner of the car, which includes the insurance company's contact number. By calling the insurance company and providing the license plate number, the insurance company can locate the owner's information and contact them.

After driving for so many years, I often encounter situations where cars block the way. Many friends first think of calling 110 to move the car, but it's actually not appropriate. 110 is a dedicated emergency hotline, mainly handling urgent police matters such as personal danger or major accidents. Moving a car usually doesn't count as an emergency, unless it's blocking a fire lane or poses a safety hazard. I've also tried calling 110 before, and the operator would say it's not their responsibility and advise me to handle it myself. Nowadays, it's more recommended to use the Traffic Management 12123 APP, where you can notify the car owner by uploading the license plate number—it's quite fast. Alternatively, check the contact information on the car's windshield and call the owner directly. In residential areas, contacting the property management is even simpler. Remember, misusing 110 may result in criticism, education, or even fines, and it affects those who genuinely need help. We should use public resources reasonably and not cause trouble over minor issues.

From a legal perspective, the 110 emergency service is designed for urgent situations, primarily addressing criminal incidents, public security emergencies, or life-threatening requests. Moving a parked vehicle generally does not fall under 110 jurisdiction unless it causes traffic congestion or poses a danger. The law stipulates that misuse of emergency hotlines may violate public security regulations and result in penalties. In practice, it's advisable to first attempt contacting the vehicle owner for negotiation or use the 122 traffic accident reporting platform for non-emergency assistance. For blocked vehicles within residential areas, consulting property management or community administrators is more effective. I've personally encountered similar situations—taking time to locate the owner or using dedicated apps proves more appropriate than immediately calling the police. Protecting emergency hotline resources is crucial to ensure unimpeded access during genuine crises. Developing a habit of using official channels routinely helps avoid unnecessary complications.

Last year, my friend's parking spot was taken, and in a panic, he called 110. The operator said it wasn't an emergency and suggested using a parking app instead. Later, I found that 12123 works really well—just scan the QR code, and the owner gets a text message, resolving the issue in minutes. WeChat also has a parking feature where you can enter the license plate to find the owner's contact and reach out directly. Don’t rush to call the police for every little thing—110 is for life-saving emergencies, and non-urgent calls waste everyone's time. Download these tools in advance for daily parking issues—they’re fast and hassle-free. Next time something like this happens, try modern solutions first instead of always relying on the police.
