What to Do When a Car is Blocking and No One Moves It?

Generally, contact information is left on the car. If you find your car blocked, you can check if there is a phone number on the car. This situation is more applicable when a parking space in a residential area is occupied or blocked. You can ask the property security for the car owner's phone number. If your car is blocked at the entrance of a mall or restaurant and there is no owner's contact number, you can use the mall's public announcement system to notify the owner to move the car. The insurance policy on the car's front windshield will have the insurance company's information. You can call the insurance company and report that the car has been scratched.

I've encountered this situation before where my car was blocked and couldn't move. My usual approach is to first check if there's a parking contact card or phone number displayed on the other vehicle's windshield. If found, I directly call the owner, and they typically come down to move their car immediately. If no contact information is visible, I take photos with my phone to document the situation, then seek assistance from the residential security or property management office. They can check surveillance footage or registration records to contact the owner. I also post a help message in our WeChat group to ask if any neighbors recognize the vehicle. If there's no response after waiting over half an hour, I might consider calling the police as a last resort. The key is to remain patient and polite to prevent escalation. It's also wise to have your own information ready just in case, making the process safer and more efficient.

It's really annoying when your car gets blocked these days. As a new driver, I used to panic at first, but I've learned better. I first check if the other car has a "Please Move" card displayed. If not, I immediately download a car-moving app to scan the license plate and find contact information. If I still can't find anything, I just post a request for help in my social media circles or group chats—friends can usually help connect. If it's within the residential area, I ask the security guard for assistance—they're experienced. In urgent situations, I leave a note on the windshield with the time and location. Remember, don't try to push the car or use tools to pry it—it's too dangerous and could cause trouble. Patience is the safest approach. I also recommend leaving your contact info when parking to prevent such hassles in the future.

When blocked by a parked car, I simply take a photo for record, then post it in the neighborhood WeChat group asking whose car it is. If neighbors respond quickly with an answer, great. If no one claims it, I go to the property management to check. Simple, fast and time-saving - neighborly help comes first.

My habit is to ensure I don't block the way before parking. If I do get blocked, I act immediately. First, I look for the car owner's contact number to call and explain the situation. Usually, the owner has forgotten the time and apologizes before moving the car. If there's no contact information, I contact the property management to coordinate. It's recommended to use WeChat mini-programs or stick QR code parking notices for easier handling. Such minor frictions are common, and communication is the most effective way to resolve them and avoid worsening relationships.
