What to Do When Your Car Is Blocked and Can't Get Out?

Solutions when your car is blocked and can't get out: 1. Contact the car owner directly: The owner usually leaves a phone number on the car. Look around the car, and you can usually find it. Call the owner directly to urge them to move the car. 2. Call the traffic police for towing: If the other car is parked illegally, this is the easiest solution. Call 122 to ask the traffic police to come and tow the car. The traffic police will first call the owner, who may come to move the car themselves. 3. Call 114: 114 is a hotline. If you need to move a car, you can call this hotline, tell the staff the specific location, and provide them with the car's details, license plate, and color. They will then connect you to the owner, who will come to move the car.
I often encounter similar situations. When your car is blocked in, don't panic. First, calmly look around: Is it parked in a narrow spot or blocked by other vehicles? If so, try to contact the owner to move the car; if there's no contact information, ask nearby people or the parking lot attendant for help. After eliminating external obstacles, check the vehicle itself for issues—for example, the handbrake might be stuck or the transmission might not engage. Gently move the handbrake lever or try shifting to neutral. If the car is skidding or stuck in mud, don't force it to drive to avoid damaging the vehicle or causing an accident. It's safer to immediately call for roadside assistance or a tow truck. Usually, I recommend parking in open areas, leaving room to maneuver, and keeping a parking contact number sticker on the window. Developing good habits can prevent such accidents, and always remain patient during the process—safety comes first.
