Vehicle owners need to bring the "wheel-clamping notice," their driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate to the location specified on the notice to accept the penalty. After the penalty is processed, on-duty personnel will unlock the vehicle. If the owner fails to address the issue or leaves the vehicle parked in the same spot for an extended period, relevant authorities will use a tow truck to forcibly remove the vehicle. If the owner attempts to remove the clamp without authorization and causes damage to the clamping device, they will be penalized according to the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law." Here is additional information: 1. Relevant laws: Wheel clamps are primarily used for vehicles parked illegally on urban roads with "prohibition signs" and heavy traffic (such as Jiuyi North Road, etc.), where illegal parking severely disrupts traffic flow. When penalizing clamped vehicles, if the illegal parking occurs on a road with a prohibition sign, a "Simplified Penalty Decision" will be issued uniformly, treating it as a "violation of prohibition sign instructions" traffic offense (fine of 150 RMB, 3 demerit points). For illegal parking on roads without "prohibition signs," penalties will be issued as "parking in an unauthorized location" traffic offenses (fine of 100 RMB). 2. Significance: Many cases have surfaced online where clamped vehicle owners simply remove the tires and flee. In reality, clamping illegal vehicles primarily aims to urge offenders to promptly address traffic violations and receive face-to-face education from law enforcement, reinforcing the consequences of illegal actions and enhancing the deterrent effect against illegal parking. This further strengthens the self-discipline and legal compliance awareness among all road users.
