How to Find the Owner When Your Car is Blocked?
3 Answers
If your car is blocked, you can call the 114 dedicated hotline to contact the owner to move the car. Here are some methods to contact the owner of the blocking car: 1. Traffic accident alarm hotline: Call 112. 122 is a department set up by the public security traffic management authorities to receive public traffic accident alarms, dispatch police officers to handle various alarms and requests for help, and at the same time accept public reports, complaints, and inquiries about traffic management and traffic police law enforcement issues. 2. One-click car moving service: In the "City Services" section of Alipay, there is a "One-click Car Moving" service. Enter the license plate number and location, then submit. The owner of the other car will receive a call reminder from the "Traffic Management 12123" system. After the 12345 car moving service is activated, some owners cooperate well, and the problem can be solved within two or three minutes. 3. Call the 114 dedicated hotline: You need to provide the color, license plate number, and model information of the other vehicle. If the information matches, the customer service will provide the phone number of the other party. Then, 114 will notify the owner to move the car by phone or SMS.
Being blocked by a car is indeed frustrating, and I've encountered this situation several times. The most straightforward method is to first circle the car to look for contact information, as many people leave a parking card under the windshield. If there's no contact info in the car, I directly call the 122 traffic hotline, report the license plate number, and ask the traffic police to help contact the owner—they have vehicle registration details. If there's a security booth nearby, I’ll ask the guard, as they’re usually familiar with parking situations in the area. If I’m in a hurry and can’t wait, I’ll also try the "one-click move" feature in the 12123 app, where uploading a photo of the scene automatically sends an SMS to the owner. If I still can’t find the owner, I’ll ask around nearby shops to see if anyone recognizes them. This usually resolves the issue within half an hour.
I suggest everyone stay calm when encountering a blocked vehicle situation. First, calmly observe the surroundings. Check if there's a temporary parking notice with contact information near the door handle – those small stickers with QR codes and phone numbers are quite common. Downloading the Traffic Management 12123 app is highly recommended; after registration, you can directly send a vehicle removal notice to the owner. Contacting property security is also a reliable approach, as they usually have owner registration forms or contact methods. In older residential areas without smart systems, checking nearby supermarkets or courier stations for surveillance footage to track the owner's whereabouts might help. Remember not to casually post vehicle removal phone numbers online to avoid information leaks. Calling the police (110 or 122) is safer than handling it yourself, especially when acting alone at night – extra caution is advised.
