How to Contact the Owner When a Car Is Blocking the Way?

Here are the methods to contact the owner when a car is blocking the way: 1. Call 114: The 114 directory assistance service has been upgraded. Owners can call this number to find the contact information of the corresponding car owner for a friendly negotiation to move the car. 2. Call 112: If 114 cannot provide the information or the other party refuses to move the car, you can call 122. 122 is a department set up by China's public security traffic management authorities to handle public reports of traffic accidents, dispatch police officers to deal with various alarms and requests for help, and also handle public complaints, reports, and inquiries regarding traffic management and traffic police law enforcement. In such cases, the traffic police can be utilized to address the issue of deliberate refusal to move the car. 3. Call 12345: After the 12345 car removal service is activated, some car owners cooperate well, and the issue can be resolved within two or three minutes. However, some owners may not cooperate and refuse to show up. In such cases, the service staff will repeatedly urge them until the car is moved. 4. Use Alipay's "One-Click Car Removal" feature. 5. Report to the insurance company: If the car is scratched, the insurance company will immediately contact the owner to handle the accident. The owner usually arrives within three minutes and moves the car without issue. Many car owners cannot find parking spaces and have to temporarily park in front of others' cars. Some even park directly in others' designated parking spots, which is not ideal since the rightful owner of the spot may arrive at any time. To avoid being asked to move the car, it's best to park in an appropriate location. If temporary parking is unavoidable, it's advisable to leave contact information on the car for convenience. Additionally, once the other vehicle leaves, you can park in the vacated spot, which is safer. Sometimes, the other party may not cooperate or refuse to move the car. In such cases, it's best to call the police and let the traffic police resolve the issue. This also serves as a reminder to stay calm when encountering problems. There is always a better solution, and conflicts should be avoided to prevent unnecessary losses over minor incidents due to aggressive behavior.

A few days ago my parking space was also blocked, let me teach you some common solutions: The most direct way is to check if there's a QR code or phone number for moving the car on the other party's window - many car owners put these up nowadays. If none is left, call 122 to report the license plate number and ask traffic police to contact them for moving the vehicle. Last time I tried this, it was resolved within half an hour. In residential areas, you can ask property management to check registered phone numbers; in shopping malls, ask customer service to make an announcement. If it's urgent, try searching 'One-Click Vehicle Move' on Alipay and fill in the information - the system will automatically call. But don't impulsively scratch the car out of anger, as you might have to compensate. The safest approach is to leave a note under the windshield wiper saying 'Please call back at XXX if you need to move your car'.

Don't panic when encountering a blocked car. I usually use the car-moving service in WeChat first: just enter the license plate number in Urban Services - Vehicle Services. For company parking lots, go directly to the security office to check the registered phone number. I've also dealt with shared bikes stuck in front of the car—after scanning and riding the bike away, the license plate becomes visible. For those who forget to leave their number when parking temporarily, calling 114 and pressing 7 for the car-moving service is quite fast. After reporting the location, the customer service will initiate a three-way call to contact the car owner. By the way, remember to place a number plate on your own car for mutual convenience.

Last week, my grocery-getter was blocked in an alley. Here's how I handled it: First, I circled the car looking for a phone number and found a note on the left rear window saying 'Call 188XXXX to move the car.' The young owner quickly came over to apologize, saying they had parked temporarily for just ten minutes. If there's no phone number, try calling the owner's insurance company (the company name is on the compulsory insurance sticker on the front windshield) and ask them to relay the message. In older residential areas without property management, asking the nearby convenience store owner might help, as they often know the car owners.
