What to do if your car gets a parking ticket?
2 Answers
When accepting the penalty, you should bring the motor vehicle registration certificate for the illegal parking and the driver's license of the illegally parked driver (or the handler). Go to the violation hall, hand the documents to the staff, and after confirming the illegal parking information, the staff will print the penalty decision. Take the decision to the designated bank to pay the fine. How to handle illegal parking? 1. On-site processing. Generally, within three days of receiving the ticket, bring your driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, cash or bank card to the local administrative hall (or traffic police station) to handle the fine payment on-site. 2. Online processing. Many cities have online police station services where you can pay with a bank card after logging in. 3. Paying the fine; Illegal parking does not deduct points, usually a fine of 200 yuan, but be sure to check the date on the ticket to avoid delays that may result in late fees and increased financial losses.
A few days ago, my car got a parking ticket on the roadside due to overtime parking. I was quite upset when I received the ticket, but handling it wasn’t difficult. The first step is not to tear off the ticket randomly—take photos to record the scene and the violation time in case you need them for an appeal. Then, carefully read the ticket to confirm the violation reason and the fine amount, as payment instructions and appeal channels are usually provided at the bottom. There are various payment methods, such as online platforms, bank transfers, or paying at the urban management department. I paid directly via mobile banking—quick and hassle-free. For appeals, evidence like photos or witness testimonies is required, and the process is a bit tedious, so I didn’t try it. Late payments may incur additional fees or even affect your credit record, so it’s best to handle it promptly. From now on, I’ll set an alarm to remind myself when parking to avoid repeating the mistake.
