After the impoundment period expires, you need to bring your personal identification documents to the traffic department to retrieve the vehicle. The following are the relevant materials: According to Article 72, Paragraph 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": "Traffic police shall conduct on-site investigation, inspection, and evidence collection for traffic accidents; if it is necessary to collect evidence, the accident vehicle may be impounded, but it shall be properly kept for verification." Based on this provision, the traffic police department may temporarily impound the accident vehicle if it is necessary to collect evidence. Legal basis: Article 72 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": After receiving a traffic accident report, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall immediately dispatch traffic police to the scene, first organize the rescue of the injured, and take measures to restore traffic as soon as possible. Traffic police shall conduct on-site investigation, inspection, and evidence collection for traffic accidents; if it is necessary to collect evidence, the accident vehicle may be impounded, but it shall be properly kept for verification.
