How to Deal with Illegally Parked Vehicles?
2 Answers
If a vehicle is illegally parked and the driver is not present, obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine will be imposed. The vehicle can be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic. You can call 114 or the local traffic police department to report the illegally parked vehicle.
As a seasoned driver who often cruises around the neighborhood, I've encountered improperly parked cars several times, especially at street corners or on sidewalks, which is really annoying. I usually assess the situation first: if the car is blocking someone's way or disrupting traffic, I'll circle around to check if there's a phone number left on the windshield. Sometimes, I'm lucky and the owner is nearby, so a quick reminder to move the car suffices. If I can't find the owner, I promptly take a photo with my phone, note down the license plate number and time, then contact the property management or call the traffic police hotline 122 to report it. I remember one time when a car was blocking a fire lane, I reported it to the police, and the issue was resolved in less than ten minutes—truly a safe and efficient approach. Illegal parking isn't just irritating; it can also lead to accidents or neighbor disputes. So, I advise everyone to pay more attention to parking signs and not prioritize personal convenience over public safety.
