How long does it take to get a second parking ticket?

[DiHeidi]

There is no clear time regulation for receiving a second parking ticket. Generally, if a motor vehicle is parked illegally in one location, as long as it is not moved to another place for illegal parking, a second ticket will not be issued. Even if multiple tickets are issued at the same location within one day, the excess penalties can be revoked through administrative reconsideration. Article 89 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates: Pedestrians, passengers, or non-motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road passage shall be given a warning or fined. Non-motor vehicle drivers who refuse to accept the fine may have their non-motor vehicles impounded. Article 93 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates: For violations of road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding motor vehicle parking or temporary stopping, the illegal act may be pointed out, and an oral warning shall be given, ordering the driver to leave immediately. If the motor vehicle driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately, thereby obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, a corresponding fine shall be imposed, and the motor 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 organ.

There is actually no fixed time limit for how soon a second parking ticket can be issued. Based on my experience, traffic police will determine whether to issue another ticket based on the status of your vehicle. For example, if you are parked in a prohibited area and receive one ticket, if you don't move your car, they may return to check after half an hour or an hour and issue another ticket. This highlights the importance of parking rules: fines not only waste money but can also accumulate demerit points. I've seen many car owners receive multiple tickets at the same spot, doubling their losses. So, I recommend everyone develop good habits—use a navigation app to check for legal parking spots before parking and avoid impulsive parking. Safe travel is more important than anything else. Don't delay moving your car; handle it promptly to avoid trouble.

Oh dear, the timing of illegal parking is really something to pay attention to. As a frequent driver, I can tell you that the second ticket might come surprisingly fast—possibly within just half an hour after the first one, as traffic police may return to check if the car is still occupying the spot. Rules vary by city, but generally, if you don't move your car, you could face consecutive fines. I have a friend who parked on the roadside to run an errand and ended up with two tickets, costing him hundreds extra for nothing. So the lesson is: move your car immediately after getting a ticket, no hesitation. Finding a parking lot is more convenient, cost-effective, and risk-free. Accumulating fines also significantly impacts your driver's license points, so it's not worth the risk.

The time interval for receiving a second parking ticket for illegal parking is not strictly defined by regulations. If a vehicle remains parked illegally after receiving a ticket, traffic police may issue another citation during their patrols when observing the ongoing violation. The interval between tickets could range from just a few minutes to potentially an hour. As responsible vehicle owners, we should all understand that such behavior jeopardizes public safety and may lead to traffic accidents. My perspective is to always plan parking spots in advance rather than risking fines for temporary convenience. Receiving multiple tickets compounds financial penalties - it's wisest to promptly relocate the vehicle and study parking regulations.
