How to Deal with Illegally Parked Vehicles?

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.

Every morning during rush hour, if my parking spot gets taken or someone parks haphazardly in front of my house, I can barely contain my frustration. But experience has taught me that yelling or scratching the car only invites trouble—it's better to stay calm. First, I check if there's a 'move your car' QR code or app info on the vehicle and try contacting the owner via WeChat Mini Programs for car-moving services. If there's no identifier, I take out my phone to record a short video as evidence, capturing the surroundings and license plate to avoid future disputes. After that, I call the property management to complain or ask security for help—this approach works well in my community. Honestly, parking spaces are in such short supply in modern society, but no matter how urgent, we should still follow the rules. I’ve since made it a habit to put a contact card on my own car—mutual consideration makes for a better neighborhood environment.

In our community volunteer work, it's common to see neighbors parking in the wrong spots, such as blocking unit doors or green belts. In such cases, prioritizing communication is key to maintaining harmony. When I come across such vehicles, I usually knock gently to inquire about the owner; if that doesn't yield results, I post a message in the building group chat seeking help or notify the property management to coordinate a solution. It's important not to take matters into your own hands by towing the car or leaving angry notes, as that can easily lead to arguments. Instead, it's better to educate everyone on how to share the limited parking spaces. In daily life, I promote parking rules, such as queuing up neatly for overnight parking, which not only reduces chaos but also enhances neighborly bonds.
