How to deal with "zombie cars" in cities that occupy public resources, have hidden safety hazards and belong to private property rights?
CCTV News, Beijing, April 12 (Central Broadcasting reporter Ren Mengyanliang star) In communities, regular parking lots, and even on the side of roads, we often see some dilapidated vehicles that are parked for a long time.
These "zombie vehicles" not only occupy public resources, but even have potential safety hazards, and have become a "stubborn disease" in urban governance.
But want to clean up the "zombie car", but there are many problems.
The vehicles parked in the community, in the regular parking lot and on both sides of the road are managed by different agencies. Although the "zombie car" is not required for a while, it is still private property and it is more difficult to dispose of.
How can we deal with the "zombie car" in the city?
Earlier, the “net celebrity zombie car” in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province triggered a discussion among netizens. An abandoned vehicle has been parked in a public toll parking space for nearly two years without moving. The parking fee has accumulated more than 83,000 yuan. The parking lot is helpless.
The parking charge manager told reporters: “From when we go to work, from 8 am to 9 pm, under normal circumstances, the charge for this parking space is 147 yuan a day. It is very stressful. There are 11 seats here, next to the hospital, and the lakeside. In the business circle, if the car can't move, there will be nowhere for others to park."
Why can't the traffic police tow away the vehicles that stay in the parking lot?
It turned out that according to the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the traffic management department of the public security organs can detain vehicles parked illegally on the road. If they do not accept the punishment within the time limit, they can deal with the detained vehicles in accordance with the law.
But for vehicles parked in parking lots, communities, or even rural public spaces, there is no alternative.
In addition to forgotten and discarded vehicles form "zombie cars", there is also a "zombie car" that can find the owner.
They refused to scrap them and drove "zombie vehicles" to "guerrilla", which caused headaches for management units.
According to Zhou Li, a policeman from the Traffic Police Detachment of the Hefei Public Security Bureau, the traffic police department can tow the "zombie vehicles" that affect traffic on the main road, and then contact the owners of the "zombie vehicles" to negotiate a settlement.
However, the follow-up is complicated, and there may be related expenses, which makes many car owners unwilling to take the initiative to scrap.
Zhou Li said: "The governance of'zombie vehicles' involves multiple departments and multiple links. Only when the concept of'zombie vehicles' is clearly defined can we lay a solid foundation for long-term governance and prevent all parties from being unable to start.' Zombie The car’s discovery, towing, sorting, management, recovery and other links have not yet established a mechanism, especially in the area of recovery. For example, if a “zombie car” occupies a parking space, we cannot contact the car owner through an announcement or the car owner still does not To deal with it, the owner can entrust a lawyer to file a lawsuit and ask the owner to bear the cost of the entire towing, storage and scrapping. After the free storage time, the longer the car owner parks, the more the price will be paid. Big."
In Zhenhai District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, in order to rectify "zombie vehicles", Zhenhai District started with rural and community conventions and cleared more than 500 local "zombie vehicles" in the past year.
Cai Jingyu, an instructor of the Vehicle Management Office of the Zhenhai Branch of the Ningbo Public Security Bureau, introduced: "We are four departments that have issued documents on the cleaning and rectification of'zombie vehicles'. Each department performs its own duties, according to the laws and regulations of their respective fields, according to the parking location , To classify and recognize “zombie vehicles”, and rectify them according to the law. Mainly according to the parking position of “zombie vehicles”, they are divided into three categories, which are divided into three categories according to the public security bureau, the comprehensive law enforcement bureau, and the property under the guidance of the street , The owners’ committee, as well as the village committee and the management unit of the public parking lot.”
According to Cai Jingyu, in response to the previous problem that communities, villages and parking lots have no right to dispose of personal property, neighborhood committees, village committees or properties can seek help from the traffic police department based on the parking lot management system and submit the " "Zombie Car" Dragging Registration Form".
After confirmation by the local government, the "zombie cars" will be towed to a dedicated parking lot.
According to the "Regulations on Compulsory Scrap Standards for Motor Vehicles", the vehicles will be forced to scrap if they fail to obtain a motor vehicle inspection mark within 3 consecutive motor vehicle inspection cycles.
Cai Jingyu said: "For the situation of'zombie cars' that are parked in the internal parking lot of the community, which directly causes a lot of trouble in reality, we have also formulated a clear disposal process. The disposal of'zombie cars' has been written into the owner's agreement. , Villagers’ Convention, so that the community property can be authorized by the owners’ committee to dispose of the “zombie car” in accordance with the regulations.”
After the vehicle was forcibly scrapped, the owner appeared again. What should I do?
Cai Jingyu said that they have developed a set of procedures specifically for this purpose. If there are license plates and personal belongings, there are also special management measures.
Cai Jingyu introduced: "If the owner of the car subsequently handles it, he can use his ID to go through the deregistration procedures of the vehicle, so that the retention of the license plate will not be affected. We have also properly managed it, including the items in the car. The entire "zombie car" closed loop from discovery to disposal is well documented."
But Cai Jingyu also admitted that it would be difficult to clean up "zombie cars" if the community does not have an owner committee.
Analyzing the “zombie cars” on the market, some can find the owner but are unwilling to scrap it, and some cannot find the owner but the parking unit has no right to dispose of it. Although centralized cleaning will be carried out in various places, due to the complicated supervision, there will inevitably be omissions.
Yang Jianhua, president of the Zhejiang Provincial Society of Sociology, believes that the key to solving the "zombie car" problem lies in how to respect and protect personal property while ensuring the effective use of social public resources.
Encouraging and rewarding the scrapping of vehicles, and legislatively disposing of all kinds of "zombie vehicles" are all critical.
Yang Jianhua said: "Car owners are unwilling to scrap. It may be worthless. Scraping takes time and effort, and there is not much economic gain. Therefore, the vehicle that is about to be scrapped is thrown on the side of the road and becomes a'zombie car'. So yes. The scrapping of vehicles, how to effectively use them, and how to compensate the owners of certain economic benefits, may also need to be improved in law. Regarding the treatment of "zombie vehicles", we are now legally authorized to police or tow trucks. The authorization of the company or the authorization of the community property committee is still unclear, and it needs to be improved in this respect. For example, in foreign countries, the towing company is granted the corresponding authority for the "zombie car", and the towing company is responsible for the towing. Handling, parking, and corresponding economic compensation to car owners."
Yang Jianhua believes that the low cost of illegality for owners of "zombie cars" is also the main reason why "zombie cars" are so common.
In addition to legislation, the establishment of a complete credit system evaluation system can also urge some car owners to assume corresponding responsibilities.
He said: "The establishment of a credit system means that if you violate the law and do not deal with it, what should you do? It may be related to your personal social credit. If you have to deal with other things, you will also encounter corresponding difficulties. Because you are in this respect. Low creditworthiness may need to serve as a cost of illegal or deviating credit."
