How to Handle Illegal Parking of Motorcycles?
2 Answers
The following is a detailed introduction to the penalties for illegal parking of motorcycles: 1. On-site illegal parking penalties: (1) Traffic police can point out the illegal act and issue a verbal warning, ordering the driver to leave immediately. (2) Generally, as long as the driver leaves quickly, there will be no fine. (3) If the driver refuses to leave and the parked vehicle obstructs other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police will impose a fine. 2. Non-on-site illegal parking penalties: (1) A fine will be issued with a ticket. (2) If the parked vehicle obstructs other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police department has the authority to tow the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a designated parking area by the traffic management department of the public security authority.
I've been riding motorcycles for ten years and often see fellow riders getting fined for illegal parking. Last time, I was in a hurry and parked on the sidewalk, only to receive a 200-yuan ticket. Handling it was simple: first, check the ticket number and pay online via a traffic app—don’t delay, or late fees will be added. It’s also important to determine whether the parking spot affects road safety, as fines are stricter near school entrances. Before riding, I always use Amap to search for legal parking spots, and at night, I avoid parking near fire lanes—this habit has saved me a lot of trouble. If your bike gets towed, you’ll have to go to a designated lot to pay and retrieve it, which is a real hassle—not only does it waste time, but you might even have to take time off work. Following the rules is essential; riding a motorcycle should balance convenience and safety. Thinking one step ahead when parking can help you avoid fines.
