Driving on the streets of the city, finding a suitable parking space can sometimes be more of a headache than solving a puzzle. Unfortunately, sometimes we may park our vehicles illegally due to negligence or emergency. At this time, receiving a text message reminder of illegal parking is like adding insult to injury, which makes people's hearts tight. But does receiving a text message mean that fines are inevitable? Today, let's take a deep dive into this topic and uncover the "secret" behind the illegal parking text messages for the majority of drivers.
First of all, we need to make it clear that the original intention of the parking violation SMS reminder is to give the driver a chance to correct the mistake, not a direct fine. When we receive a text message such as "Failure to park in accordance with the regulations has been recorded, please leave immediately, failure to leave in time will be dealt with in accordance with the law", it usually means that our vehicle has been caught by the surveillance system for illegal parking. However, as long as the vehicle is driven away within the specified time (e.g. within 10 minutes), no penalty will be incurred.
However, if we receive a text message such as "Parking not in accordance with regulations, the violation has been recorded, please leave immediately, and if you do not leave in time, it will be towed according to the law", then the situation is different. This usually means that the parking violation has already been classified as a violation, and even if we drive away immediately, we will not be able to avoid subsequent penalties.
In addition, we also need to note that different road sections may have different regulations. Illegal parking in strict road sections, once the illegal parking is found, it will often immediately take pictures for processing, and the possibility of fines will be greatly increased. In non-strict road sections, the driver is usually reminded to leave through a text message, and if he does not leave within the specified time, a photo penalty will be generated.
So why do we sometimes get a penalty notice when we drive away from a parking violation within 10 minutes? This may be because we are caught again by the monitoring system during the drive-away, or we have been driving away for longer than the stipulated limit. In addition, there may be some special cases of misjudgment or system failure.
In order to avoid unnecessary fines and hassles, we recommend that you take immediate action to remove your vehicle from the parking violation as soon as possible after receiving a text message alert for a parking violation. At the same time, you should always be vigilant and obey the traffic rules to avoid unnecessary losses to yourself due to momentary negligence.
In short, receiving a text message notification for parking violations does not mean that the penalty will come. By understanding the meaning behind the text message and taking the right action, we may be able to avoid unnecessary fines and hassles. I hope this article can bring some help and inspiration to the majority of drivers, let us work together to create a more civilized and harmonious traffic environment!
