When the car is not at the place where it was left, many thoughts rush through the owner's head.
Of course, if certain traffic rules were violated, the question arises: what to do if the car was evacuated.
It is necessary to find out where the car is, for what violation it was driven away, how to return it. You need to call somewhere.
We will find out what exactly to do in such a situation.
Reasonable car owners first of all ask the question: how to find out if a car was evacuated or not in 2020? It is important to understand whether there were any reasons for the evacuation at all.
Consider a list of violations, each of which may entail a given measure:
Pay attention to an important point... The owner of the car has the right to demand to stop the process of evacuation of the car if he appears on the spot before the moment the tow truck with the vehicle starts moving.
And it doesn't matter if there is an evacuation protocol. According to the law, the traffic police inspector must stop the evacuation, and give the car owner an official decision on the fact of the offense.
In this case, the owner is exempted from payment for storing the car in the parking lot, for evacuation. You only need to pay a fine for the offense itself - incorrect parking.
Sometimes the request of the car owner is ignored: the car is still loaded and taken away... Then the evacuation process must be recorded on video.
This will become evidence of illegal actions, with which you can try to challenge the collection of fees for the parking lot and evacuation.
Calling
Where to call if the car was evacuated, where to go? There are a lot of structures. In each city, the mechanism can work in its own way.
Good afternoon, dear reader.
The number of evacuators involved in moving improperly parked vehicles to impound parking lots is constantly increasing.
So there is a high probability of not finding a car on the spot that was parked in violation of traffic rules.
In this article, we will talk about where the driver should contact if the car was taken away by a tow truck:
First of all, I would like to remind you that not for every violation of the rules of stopping or parking a car can be evacuated. This issue is discussed in detail in the article:
A versatile way to find an evacuated car
In each city, a separate organization or organizations are involved in the evacuation of cars, which can serve several car parking lots. Moreover, in 2020 there is no single service or service, which would provide information about all evacuated vehicles in the country.
However, this does not mean that the driver will have to look for the phones of all the parking lots and call each of them. Since the evacuation in any case takes place in the presence of a traffic police officer, information about the car can be obtained from the police.
To do this, just call number 112 from a mobile phone.
After that, you will be connected with a traffic police officer, who will inform you whether the car has really been evacuated and will tell you where to go next.
Note. Phone 112 is a universal way to get information about the evacuated vehicle. However, in some regions, there are additional services that allow you to find out if the car has been sent to an impound.
Where to call when evacuating a car in Moscow?
In Moscow, there are several ways to obtain information about an evacuated vehicle:
Please note, methods 1, 2, 3 and 5 allow you to find out only whether the car was evacuated or not.
If you want to find out to which car parking lot the car was taken, it is better to use method number 4 right away (call by phone).
In conclusion, I would like to note that if the driver is attentive to the choice of a parking place, then his car will not be evacuated to the parking lot. However, if this trouble still happened, then just call the traffic police. They will tell you how and where to return the car.
Good luck on the road!
Every driver whose car was evacuated for incorrect parking wondered how you can find out at which parking lot the car. This situation occurs even for those who are trying to comply with the rules of the road and correct parking. For example, a person did not notice a sign or, because of a rush, left a car where it was impossible.
So, you went out into the street, and there is no car. How to find which site she was taken to? What is the procedure for returning it in 2020? Let's find out.
Evacuation of the car to the parking lotis possible only in certain cases when the driver grossly violated traffic rules or parking rules. Moreover, if the tow truck took the car away with you, then everything is much easier, because it will be easy to find out where it is. If you find that the car is simply not there, then the situation becomes more complicated. We will tell you how to pick up a car from a parking lot, and the main reasons for evacuation are as follows:
- a person drives a car, while he does not have a registration certificate and driver's license;
- a person drives a vehicle in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication;
- the car has malfunctions, as a result of which it cannot move and creates a danger for other road users;
- the car is parked in violation of traffic rules in places where it is prohibited (for example, parking at a pedestrian crossing).
The tow truck driver will not pick up the car just like that. This is done when there is no other way to free traffic. Evacuation is an expensive pleasure, especially if you did not find and collect the car right away.
Ways to search for a parking lot
Let's say you find that there is no car at the left place. How can you find where he was taken? The first thing that comes to mind is to call the police, and rightly so. The search is carried out by number, so you need to inform the operator of the license plate of the car. You can contact the police on a single number 02. Some people call the rescue service, but they will not be able to get the necessary information there.
When you call the police, they may not have the information yet. It will take several hours to transfer data about the evacuated vehicle, so we are looking for information and pick up the car in a different way.
If the police did not help you, call the Moscow dispatcher service number. There are similar services in almost all cities of the Russian Federation. The advantage is that information is entered into the database quickly. If you know that a tow truck took the car, but did not manage to get out and interfere with it, then call the dispatchers. They will inform you at which address they took the vehicle, where to go to get permission to return it, etc.
This service has a website, the interface of which will allow you to find the address of the site online. To search for a specific vehicle, you need to know its number. There you can not only find out a specific car parking lot, but also find its location on a city map. Among other things, this resource contains many useful articles.
Important! The easiest way to return a car is to contact a specialist company that can help. You will have to pay about 500 rubles for information support. A full list of services, including the return of an evacuated car, will cost 5-7 thousand rubles.
But that's not all: the government service of displaced vehicles can provide information about the evacuated vehicle. By calling the specialists, you will find out where you took the car, how to pick it up. This service operates only in large cities of the Russian Federation. So, the car was not found in the parking space. How to check where the parking lots are located? They are taken to specific locations, so it is important to learn how to do this.
Car return
In recent years, changes have been made in the procedure for returning evacuated vehicles. Now you can return the car without prepayment for transportation to the parking lot. Moreover, its return is possible immediately after the elimination of the cause of the evacuation. This means that you can return it without paying a fine and costs for this procedure. However, there is a certain condition for this. The delivery of the car is carried out in the presence of documents and permission from the authority, which issued a fine and took it to the impound. If this requirement is met, then there should be no obstacles. Sometimes the site staff refuse to hand over the vehicle. This is illegal, so you need to call the police and solve the problem.
As for the cost of evacuating a car, return times and other nuances, this is regulated by law. Drivers are required to pay fines and other costs, and site owners are required to issue cars immediately after the permit is granted.
What are the costs of evacuating the car to the parking lot? First, you need to pay a fine, the amount of which depends on the specific offense. You also need to pay for transportation, that is, tow truck services. Each day at the site costs a certain amount, which is charged depending on the engine size. The first day is free, so pick up your car as quickly as possible to keep costs to a minimum.
This is a common situation in any big city. It's good if the driver noticed the tow truck in time and solved all the problems on the spot. But there are also cases when the owner of the vehicle went about his business for a few hours, and when he returned, he found that she was not.
All sorts of thoughts can arise in the head, up to theft. However, first of all, you need to look at the road signs placed around and if you see signs 3.28, 3.29, 3.30: "Parking is prohibited", "Parking is prohibited on odd days" and "days", then you have suffered a well-deserved punishment for parking in the wrong place.
The next point is how to find out where they took and where the car is. There are about 30 car parking lots in Moscow, and 12 in St. Petersburg. You need to find out which of them your car is currently at. This must be done as quickly as possible, since it can be both hourly and daily. Where do you need to contact?
How to find out where the car was taken?
The easiest way is to dial the police number, dictate the state registration number of the car and get information. Just in case, we give the police numbers:
- 02 - from a city landline phone;
- 002 - Beeline;
- 020 - MTS, Megafon, Tele2.
There is also a single number for the rescue service - 112, which you can call free of charge from any mobile operator.
However, information about the transportation of the car to the impoundment site arrives at the police in about one or two hours, so you may be told that nothing is known about it at the moment.
In this case, there are still options - a single dispatch service operates in Moscow, its phone numbers are 8 495 539-22-99, 539-54-54. There is such a service in St. Petersburg - 004 (+7 812 004 - from a mobile) or 812 680-33-33. The dispatch service promptly enters information about it into the database, so even if you saw that your car is being taken away by a tow truck, but did not have time to quickly run out into the street, you will immediately be told the address of the parking lot and where you need to go to get permission to issue a vehicle.
Please note that the Moscow Unified Dispatch Service has a website on the Internet - http://parking.mos.ru/.
On this site you will see maps and find all the parking lots, as well as a field for entering the license plate of your car - in response, you will receive information about where it was taken at the moment. In addition, the site has many useful articles, information on tariffs for a parking lot and evacuation.
There is also such a service as the State Institution of the State Transport Service of Ukraine - the civil service of displaced vehicles - 495-504-17-24. Using this number, you can also find out to which car parking lot the car was evacuated. Similar services are available in all large cities of Russia.
Well, the easiest way is to contact the companies involved in the return of evacuated vehicles. The average tariff in Moscow is 300 rubles. For this money, you will be provided with all the information about the location of the car, and for 5000-7000 they will solve all the problems and deliver the car to the garage or parking lot.
