What to Do When Your Car Is Blocked and the Owner Refuses to Move It?
2 Answers
Methods to handle a situation where your car is blocked and the owner refuses to move it: 1. Tell a white lie: If the owner claims to be in a hurry and unable to move the car, or if the owner's attitude is very rude, avoid any arguments and think of alternative solutions. For example, tell the owner that there is a scratch on the car. Most car owners cannot tolerate any damage to their vehicles, so the blocking owner will likely come to check the car immediately. 2. Call the traffic management hotline 12123: You can call the dedicated traffic management hotline. Simply provide the license plate number of the blocking car to the operator, and they will contact the owner to move the car as soon as possible. 3. Call the police directly: In this case, you can directly call the traffic police to have the car towed. Since the blocked car is severely affecting traffic on the road, if the traffic police cannot contact the owner upon arrival, they will have no choice but to tow the car. The owner may later find their car missing when trying to retrieve it, which is entirely their own fault.
When my car is blocked by someone else and the owner refuses to move it, I first calm down and avoid panicking. Observe the license plate of that car to see if there's a contact number for moving the car displayed. Many car owners place it on the front windshield. If not, try using a mobile app like 12123 or Gaode Maps to input the license plate and find the owner's contact information. If you can't find it, immediately call the traffic police at 122. They will contact the owner through the system or come to the scene to handle the situation. Remember to take a few photos to document the scene's location and the relationship between the two cars, just in case of disputes as evidence. Having driven for over a decade, I've seen many similar situations—safety is the priority, so never act impulsively or confrontationally. If it's in a parking lot, you can ask the property management or security guards to help mediate. When parking, I always try to park close to the side or leave a moving car sign to minimize trouble. After all, everyone has emergencies, and mutual understanding makes life easier.
