How to Deal with a Vehicle Owner Who Refuses to Move Their Car?
2 Answers
Call 122. The party only needs to inform the operator of the vehicle model, license plate number, color, and other relevant information, and 122 will immediately contact the other driver. If the other driver violates regulations and refuses to cooperate in moving the vehicle, 122 will arrange for personnel to come and handle the situation directly, and the vehicle will be towed away. Below are the relevant details: 1. Legal provisions: Motor vehicles should be parked in designated areas. Parking motor vehicles on sidewalks is prohibited; temporary parking on roads should not obstruct other vehicles and pedestrians. 2. Precautions: The traffic management department of the public security authority must not charge the party for towing the vehicle and should promptly inform the party of the parking location. If the vehicle is damaged due to improper towing methods, compensation liability shall be borne according to the law.
That day I encountered a car owner blocking my parking space, and after three phone calls, they kept making excuses about being unavailable. I directly took photos and recorded videos as evidence, then contacted the property management to register the license plate number. The property management helped retrieve the resident information to contact the owner, with a warning that the car would be locked if not moved within half an hour. This tactic worked well—the owner hurriedly came to move the car within ten minutes. The key is to preserve the evidence chain and timestamps. Next time you encounter a blocked space in a mall or unfamiliar garage, seeking management is more hassle-free than arguing. Remember not to push the car manually—if it gets scratched, you might have to compensate. Keeping a distance and taking photos is the safest approach. In cases of malicious parking, directly reporting to traffic police for towing is more efficient.
