Will a Second Ticket Be Issued If My Car Has Already Been Ticketed?

A second ticket will not be issued within 24 hours after the first one. Below are specific details regarding traffic violation parking notices: Legal Basis: Article 63 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that vehicles must comply with regulations. Parking is prohibited in sections with no-parking signs or markings, in areas with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, as well as in crosswalks and construction zones. Handling in Absence: If the driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately, thereby obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine will be imposed, and the vehicle may be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a designated area by the traffic management department of the public security authority.

I've been driving for over a decade and have seen many car owners get parking tickets. Once, I parked by the roadside to run some errands and came back to find a ticket on my car. I didn’t pay much attention, but the next morning when I came to drive, there was another new ticket on my windshield. Traffic police patrols follow a routine—they check for illegally parked vehicles at regular intervals each day. If your car remains parked there without being moved, it’s considered an ongoing violation, making it entirely possible to get a second or even third ticket. Especially on strictly monitored roads or during peak hours in the morning and evening, patrols are more frequent, increasing the chances of receiving multiple tickets. So, if you find a ticket on your car, don’t hesitate—move it right away, or your wallet will take the hit.

As someone who has long assisted with traffic violations at the vehicle management office, I've seen cases where the same car received three tickets at the same spot. The key factor is the continuity of the illegal parking behavior—as long as the vehicle remains unmoved, each patrol discovery by traffic police counts as a new violation. Generally, no duplicate tickets are issued on the same day, but during shift changes or inspections the next day, if the system doesn't show prior penalty records, the newly assigned officer will issue another ticket as per regulations. I recommend car owners promptly check violation details via the traffic management app and move their vehicle immediately. Some cities even offer a first-time SMS reminder for illegal parking, but a second offense will definitely result in a ticket.

Last time my car was parked at the entrance of the residential area and got a ticket. I thought it was safe for the day, but in the afternoon another group of officers came and issued another ticket. After consulting a relative who works as a traffic police officer, I learned that the enforcement system can indeed record continuous illegal parking multiple times. Especially on roads monitored by electronic surveillance, the system scans every 30 minutes, and overtime parking can result in repeated fines. Some car owners think that after getting one ticket, they might as well 'throw caution to the wind,' but this is a dangerous mindset. Continuous illegal parking not only accumulates fines but also affects the annual inspection. It's best to immediately move the car to a legal parking space, and it's also advisable to check the local illegal parking penalty rules, as tolerance levels vary significantly between different cities.
