Due to lack of parking space and parking problems, drivers violate parking regulations, creating inconvenience to all other drivers. One of the violations is blocking the exit of cars from the parking lot. Is it possible in this case to call a tow truck?
What if the car blocked the parking lot?
It is important to know how the owner of a locked car should act. Since in such cases it is impossible to act independently, it is necessary to call special services that will record violations and help to eliminate them.
But there are drivers who act inappropriately - they can flatten the wheels or otherwise damage the interfering car. Therefore, the first thing to remember is that you need to act within the framework of the law. What measures can be taken?
- Wait. If time permits a person, you can wait for the owner of the car blocking the exit from the yard. It is likely that the person who has not carefully parked the car will return soon.
- Call the owner. Another easy way to resolve the problem is to call the owner. Some citizens, leaving the car, also leave a note with their contact phone number. You can also call the owner by knocking on the wheels or by trying to open the door. In this case, the alarm will go off, and the owner of the vehicle will come out to turn it off.
- To call the police. If the waiting did not lead to anything, and the alarm did not work, it is worth calling the police squad, since the car is still blocking the passage for other drivers.
Appeal to the organs
The police can be called by number 02, and when you call, explain the situation to the operator and give the exact address. The operator will send the order and may ask to clarify the license plate of the car to find out the identity of the owner.
Upon arrival, the inspectors will draw up a protocol and, if necessary, can call a tow truck. In some cases, in order for the issue to be resolved peacefully, they can find the phone number of the owner of the car.
In most cases, the arrival of the police or even a hint of this affects a person very strongly, so he will park his vehicle without scandals and disputes.
An important point: you cannot call a tow truck on your own and you cannot move someone else's car on your own, because this can threaten with a fine or imprisonment.
Evacuation cost
The driver who violated the parking rules must imagine how much such a fault will cost him. After all, a person, in addition to an administrative penalty, will also have to pay for the services of a tow truck, as well as the maintenance of the car in the parking lot.
Different cities set different prices for all these services. For example, in big cities it varies from 4 to 6 thousand rubles.
Therefore, violating parking rules and blocking other vehicles is quite an expensive pleasure, which may not be affordable for everyone. Before leaving your car, you need to make sure that it does not interfere with anyone.
