How to notify the owner to move a car with temporary license plates?
2 Answers
You need to know the owner's phone number. Some owners leave their mobile number on the front windshield, which is a convenient method. You can call 114 to request car moving service. Provide the car's license plate number and the moving request number to the operator, who can then locate the owner through the license plate number. Alternatively, you can call 12580, report the license plate number to the operator, and they will connect you directly to the owner's phone. Another method is to contact the owner's insurance company through the insurance mark on the front windshield. Provide the car model and license plate number to reach the owner.
Having driven for over a decade, I've encountered temporary license plates quite often. Those temporary plates are usually white with black characters, affixed to the windshield, sometimes displaying the owner's name, phone number, or a QR code. If I find one blocking another car, I'll approach slowly to carefully check the plate details—if there's a number, I'll call directly, explaining the situation in a gentle tone. If there's no information, I'll promptly contact the residential property management or mall security to help look up the owner's records; nowadays, property systems are interconnected, allowing quick identification. Remember not to move the car yourself—if any scratches occur, you'd be held responsible, and temporary vehicles might lack insurance, leading to disputes. Safety comes first; waiting for the owner to handle it themselves is the most reliable approach. It's also a good opportunity to remind the owner to leave contact details next time they park to avoid trouble.
