In the city, parking spaces are tight, and if you find a place to park, you may receive a text message reminder from the traffic police. So, in this case, do we have to pay a fine?The answer is: not necessarily.
First of all, we need to understand that receiving a text message reminder for illegal parking does not mean that you have been fined, but that the traffic management department is giving you a chance to make corrections.
According to the provisions of China's "Road Traffic Safety Law", the traffic management department shall give a verbal or written warning to the vehicle that violates the parking regulations before it has the right to impose a fine. In other words, if you drive away from the parking violation site immediately after receiving the text message, you will not be penalized. However, if you do not heed the warning, continue to stay in the illegal parking spot, or exceed the prescribed departure time, then you will be fined between 20 and 200 yuan and may have your vehicle towed.
So, how do we know if the text message we receive is a warning or a fine?Actually, this one is very simple, just read the content of the text message. Generally speaking, if the text message is a warning, then it will have the following characteristics:
The text message will clearly inform you of the violation, such as "Your vehicle is parked in a no-parking area";
The text message will ask you to drive away from the parking violation site immediately, such as "Please leave immediately, if you do not leave, you will be towed according to the law";
The text message will give you a time limit to leave, such as "Please leave in 5 minutes";
The text message will remind you what penalties you will receive if you do not leave, such as "If you do not leave, you will be fined between 20 yuan and 200 yuan";
If the text message you receive meets the above characteristics, then you can rest assured that this is a warning that as long as you drive away in time, you will not be fined. However, if the text message you receive does not have the above characteristics, but directly tells you that you have been fined, or asks you to go to the traffic police brigade to deal with it, then you have to be careful, this is a fine, you must pay the fine according to the requirements of the text message, or go to the traffic police brigade to be processed.
So, what do we do with this kind of fine?Actually, this is also very simple, as long as you have a mobile phone, you can handle it. You can ** traffic management 12123 app, which is an official platform for traffic management, you can check your violation records on it, you can also pay fines on it, or apply for reconsideration. You only need to enter your license plate number and frame number, you can see your violation, and then choose the appropriate way to deal with it, and you're good to go. In this way, you don't have to run to the traffic police brigade, you don't have to queue, and you don't have to worry about the expiration of the fine, which is very convenient.
Of course, the best thing to do is not to stop illegally. Because illegal parking is not only a fine, but also can cause traffic congestion, and even affect the passage of rescue vehicles, causing trouble and danger to yourself and others. Therefore, when we drive, we must abide by traffic rules, respect traffic order, drive in a civilized manner, and travel safely.
