How much is the fine for illegal parking and how many points will be deducted?
2 Answers
If there is a no-parking sign at the illegal parking location, 3 points will be deducted; if there is no no-parking sign, no points will be deducted. Methods for handling illegal parking: The motor vehicle can be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a location designated by the traffic management department of the public security organ. Bring your driver's license, vehicle license, and ID card to the traffic police team for processing. Violation code: The violation code, also known as the "traffic violation code" or "traffic offense code", is a coding regulation formulated by the Ministry of Public Security for traffic violations committed by motor vehicles and pedestrians. The traffic violation codes vary from province to province across the country, usually consisting of four digits, classified according to the principles of traffic law, with the order from left to right being a behavior classification code, a point classification code, and the last two digits being a sequential number.
I've encountered illegal parking several times, usually with fines around 200 yuan and rarely any points deducted. But it depends on the situation. For instance, parking illegally on regular city streets might just result in a fine, but stopping on highway emergency lanes or fire lanes could increase the fine to 500 yuan plus 3 points deducted. When I first started driving, I was careless and got fined 300 yuan, which really hurt. Parking safely is crucial—breaking the rules not only costs money but can also cause traffic jams or accidents. I recommend checking surrounding signs carefully before parking, using parking apps to find spots, and avoiding random parking to save money, which might end up costing more. If all else fails, paying for a spot in a proper parking lot is worry-free and safe.
