How to Handle Illegal Parking of a Car? Will Points Be Deducted?
2 Answers
When parking a motor vehicle or stopping temporarily, traffic police or relevant administrative departments should first point out the illegal act and issue an oral warning, ordering the driver to leave immediately. If the driver refuses to leave, the traffic police will issue an on-the-spot penalty decision notice to the driver for the illegal act and impose a fine. When the driver is not present, after the car is ticketed, the driver must go to the traffic police department specified on the ticket within 15 working days to handle the penalty.
Last time I drove out for errands, I parked temporarily by the roadside in a solid yellow line zone. The traffic police issued a ticket with a 200-yuan fine but no points deducted. I promptly paid the fine via Alipay to avoid late fees. It’s important to pay attention to road markings: solid red lines mean no parking, while dashed yellow lines allow temporary stops but don’t overstay. If your car gets towed, you’ll need to contact traffic police to locate the impound lot and pay towing fees plus fines. New drivers are advised to check parking hints on navigation apps and plan parking spots ahead—don’t cut corners. Illegal parking not only costs money but also risks traffic safety, potentially causing blockages or accidents. In short, minor parking violations typically don’t incur points, but serious cases like blocking fire lanes may deduct 1-2 points.
