Does Illegal Parking Capture Result in Points Deduction?
2 Answers
Different illegal parking violations incur different penalties: 1. For ordinary illegal parking, a fine of 200 yuan is imposed without points deduction; 2. Parking in highway lanes or stopping in emergency lanes under non-emergency circumstances will result in 6 points deduction and a 200 yuan fine; 3. Parking at locations with no-parking signs or markings will incur a 100 yuan fine and 3 points deduction. Articles 93(1) and (2) of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulate: 1. For violations of road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding motor vehicle parking or temporary stopping, the illegal act may be pointed out, followed by a verbal warning ordering immediate departure. 2. If the motor vehicle driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately despite being present, thereby obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan shall be imposed, and the vehicle may be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a place designated by the traffic management department of the public security authority.
I'm just an ordinary person who commutes every day in my old car. Last time, I stopped briefly at an intersection and got caught by a traffic camera, but I was only fined 200 yuan without any points deducted, which was a huge relief. Later, I asked a traffic police friend and learned that most illegal parking captures mainly result in fines, rarely in point deductions, unless you park on a main road blocking a fire lane or a high-risk area like a school entrance. Otherwise, the electronic police just take photos and issue a fine. If you encounter a misjudgment or want to appeal, you can download the local traffic app to check violation records and upload evidence. To save money and stay safe, I now prefer to drive around a few more times to find a legal parking spot. After all, a parking fee is much cheaper than a fine, and it also avoids scratches or accidents. Fellow car owners, remember to check the app regularly for updates, as rules sometimes get minor adjustments.
