Does the traffic police have the right to tow the car away without informing the owner?

The traffic police have no right to tow a car without informing the owner.

The owner of the traffic police trailer needs to be notified, because the law stipulates that the traffic police trailer needs to be notified to himself. However, if the owner is not on the scene or refuses to leave immediately, the motor vehicle can be towed to a place that does not hinder traffic or a place designated by the traffic management department of the public security organ.

Illegal trailer pick-up process:

1, call 122 to confirm whether your car has been towed away;

2. If yes, then bring your ID card, driver's license and a copy of your driving license, and then go to the place designated by the traffic police team to deal with illegal parking;

3, to receive public security traffic management administrative punishment decision, detained motor vehicle return notice and other information;

4. Then go to the parking lot to get your car back;

Before signing for the car, check whether the car is damaged. If so, you can ask the insurance company for compensation.

Standardizing parking methods are as follows:

1, consciously park motor vehicles in parking lots or motor vehicle parking spaces designated on both sides of the road, and park motorcycles, electric vehicles and non-motor vehicles in parking lots or two-wheel and three-wheel berths designated on both sides of the road, and implement "one-by-one, unified direction" parking, without occupying lanes and sidewalks, and prevent littering;

2. When it is necessary to temporarily stop passengers, you should choose appropriate temporary parking spots, pay attention to the driving safety of others, and park at intersections, motorways, crosswalks and other places that may affect the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians, so as to achieve rapid temporary parking.

3. Shops along the street and around the night market should consciously fulfill the responsibility of city appearance and environmental sanitation, and guide vehicles to park in designated parking berths and parking lots in a standardized and orderly manner in time;

4. In violation of parking regulations, in addition to strengthening education, measures such as trailers, stickers and media network exposure will be taken and punished according to law.

In summary, the car was towed away. Under normal circumstances, the traffic police will send a text message to inform the owner, or leave a reminder in the illegal parking place.

Legal basis:
