Should I call 110 or 122 when my car is blocked?

You can call either 110 or 122 when your car is blocked. Here's some relevant information: 1. Introduction: Actually, calling 110 is also acceptable, but ultimately 110 will notify 122 to handle the situation. 2. About 122: 122 is the telephone number established by China's traffic management department to handle public traffic accident reports. When calling 122, you only need to provide the vehicle model and license plate number, and 122 will contact the owner. If the owner still doesn't take action after notification, 122 will send someone to tow the vehicle away. 3. About 114: Calling 114 for vehicle removal is also a good option. After connecting to 114, simply report the license plate number and 114 will help notify the owner. It's rare for owners to refuse moving their vehicles after receiving the call. If they refuse or can't be contacted, you can notify 122 to arrange for towing.

Last time my car was blocked in the neighborhood, I was so anxious! I immediately called 110. The police officer was very helpful and told me that if it was just regular parking obstruction, I should contact the property management or call 114 to get the car owner's number. If the car was blocking a public road and affecting traffic, they could contact traffic police to handle it. Upon closer inspection, the person blocking my car didn't leave a phone number, so I had no choice but to ask the police for help. Later, I thought about it—122 is specifically for traffic accident reports. Although car blocking is also a traffic issue, now 110 and 122 are connected, so calling 110 is more efficient. A reminder to everyone: when encountering such situations, don't act impulsively. First, try to find the car owner or property management, and only call the police as a last resort, since they are very busy.

I was also stunned when my car was blocked. The first reaction was to call 122, right? Actually, it depends on the situation. If you're blocked in a residential parking lot, 122 usually won't handle it. You should first contact the property management to check the surveillance or use the 12123 APP's one-click vehicle moving feature. If you're blocked by an illegally parked car on the road, then 122 will handle it. But in reality, calling 110 is more reliable, as the police can handle both civil disputes and traffic issues. That time when I was blocked in a supermarket parking lot, calling 110 got it resolved in ten minutes. Remember not to vent your anger by damaging the car—if you scratch someone else's car, you'll have to pay for it when the police arrive. It's best to leave your phone number in the car for convenience—helping others helps yourself.

Getting blocked by a car is all too common. Once, I was stuck in an alley while taking my child to school. Calling 110 is more effective than 122 because 110 can transfer the issue to the traffic police department. The police advised taking photos for evidence first, then locating the car owner. If it happens in a residential area, contacting the property management directly is more efficient. Nowadays, many places offer a 114 car-moving service where you can report the license plate number to reach the owner. Of course, if the congestion is caused by a traffic accident, calling 122 to report it is the right move. In short, prioritize calling 110 as it can coordinate various resources, saving you the trouble of deciding which number to choose.

What number should you call when your car is blocked? Let me share my experience! For ordinary blocking, just call 110, and the police will locate the owner via the license plate. Only if it's a car accident causing road paralysis should you call 122 for professional handling. Last time I encountered a blockage, calling 110 got a traffic officer to issue a ticket within five minutes. Modern traffic management systems are quite smart; as long as it's not rush hour, the response is usually quick. I recommend taking photos of the license plate and the blocking location in advance to help the police verify the situation. Additionally, some cities offer a WeChat car-moving service where scanning a QR code notifies the owner, which is more convenient than making a phone call.

This can be handled in three steps: first, stay calm; second, observe the situation; and finally, make a call. If the owner of the car blocking yours is nearby, the easiest solution is to speak to them directly. If you can't find them, call 114 and report the license plate number to locate the owner. If all else fails, call 110 to report to the police—they can use their police communication system to find the owner's information faster than calling 122. Once, I encountered a case of illegal parking, and the police directly accessed surveillance footage to find the owner's number—the car was moved in less than fifteen minutes. Remember not to call 122 unless it's a serious traffic accident or road rescue. Always leave your contact number on the windshield to avoid inconveniencing others.
