How to Deal with Illegally Parked Vehicles?

[Gene]

For vehicles parked illegally without causing significant impact on road traffic, traffic police may issue a verbal warning to the driver, ordering them to leave the scene immediately. If the driver refuses to leave or there is no driver present, and the vehicle is obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police department will impose corresponding fines on the driver. Article 93 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": For violations of laws and regulations regarding the parking or temporary stopping of motor vehicles, the illegal act may be pointed out, and a verbal warning issued, ordering the driver to leave immediately. If the driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately, obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, corresponding fines will be imposed, and the vehicle may be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a designated location by the traffic management department of the public security organ. The traffic management department of the public security organ shall not charge the party for towing and shall promptly inform the party of the parking location. If the vehicle is damaged due to improper towing methods, compensation shall be legally provided.

As an ordinary person who drives frequently, when encountering illegally parked vehicles, I first calmly observe the situation. If I see a vehicle blocking the road or a parking space, I try to find the owner's contact information, such as checking for a phone number on the car. If there isn't any, I directly call the traffic police at 122 to report it, or use mobile apps like WeChat's city services to file a complaint. Illegal parking not only obstructs others' travel but also easily leads to traffic accidents, such as scratches or blocked fire lanes. Usually, when parking, I choose regular parking spaces to avoid the trouble caused by temporary roadside parking. If someone's illegal parking affects me, I take photos to record the license plate and time for subsequent complaint handling. Prevention is key; understanding local parking regulations can help avoid trouble.

In my experience with car maintenance work, I've seen numerous disputes caused by improper parking, such as blocking pathways and preventing rescue vehicles from entering. I advise everyone to always leave sufficient space when parking and avoid squeezing into narrow roadside spots. If you notice someone parking improperly, don't rush into conflict; first notify the property management or administrator to handle it. In emergencies, call the police at 122 for towing. Choosing a good parking spot yourself can prevent problems—check for obstacles around your car to avoid blocking fire hydrants. Improper parking can easily lead to vehicle damage or neighborhood conflicts, so taking the time to find an appropriate parking space can save you from future troubles.

Illegal parking is a traffic violation. We usually issue tickets as a warning, and in severe cases, towing will be enforced. Vehicle owners should move their cars promptly to avoid fines and high towing costs. Choosing paid parking spaces is a better option for daily parking. Maintaining public order relies on everyone's self-discipline, and violations may result in tickets or point deductions.
