Domestic car ownership continues to rise, and the various problems caused by it are also constantly prominent. "Parking difficulty" is one of the most common problems encountered by many driver friends, and the most annoying thing is that in this case, there is also a widespread phenomenon of "zombie cars" squeezing parking space resources. What is a "zombie car" generally refers to a vehicle that is parked in a parking space for a long time and is not managed or used.
Where did the "zombie car" come from
The formation of "zombie cars" mainly has the following reasons: first, the vehicle is in disrepair, or near scrapping, the owner is not willing to spend high maintenance costs, nor is he willing to spend time to take the cumbersome scrapping process, so he chooses to abandon it directly; second, the owner cannot continue to use it due to imprisonment, disappearance or abnormal death; third, the stolen vehicle cannot be abandoned by criminals, and the original owner fails to find it in time.
In addition to squeezing out parking space resources, what harm does "zombie cars" have
Whether it is on both sides of the road or the community parking lot, parking space resources are limited, zombie cars occupy parking spaces for a long time, making it more difficult for people who really need to park. Some "zombie cars" still have the problem of occupying fire passages and greening the ground, and at the same time, they are also pasted on the background board of various advertisements, becoming "urban psoriasis", which adversely affects fire safety and city appearance. In addition, due to the existence of a variety of flammable objects such as oil and electronic circuits in the car itself, if it encounters continuous high temperature weather, the aging of the circuit is extremely prone to spontaneous combustion, like an irregular bomb. Fire accidents caused by the spontaneous combustion of "zombie cars" have been reported across the country, and even in places where vehicles are densely parked, they will affect innocent vehicles around them. Therefore, when everyone parks every day, try to stay away from the "zombie car" as well.
Where are the difficulties in the management of "zombie cars"?
Everyone knows that "zombie cars" have a lot of harm, why is no one managing them? In fact, the management of "zombie cars" involves traffic management, parking lots, residential property management, urban management and other departments, each department can manage but can find reasons to shirk, no one dares to act rashly, the most fundamental reason is still at the legislative level. There is no relevant legal definition for the definition of "zombie car", such as how long the parking time is more than enough, how much arrears can be classified as a "zombie car", in addition, the owner of the vehicle can not be contacted, who owns the management right and other difficulties are also the crux of the management. Only by putting various responsibilities and powers in place and coordinating with multiple parties can we effectively deal with the problem of "zombie cars" and avoid possible security risks and economic disputes.
Reducing the generation of "zombie cars" from the source is the best way to solve the problem
In addition to effectively alleviating the chaos of "zombie cars" in management, reducing the generation of "zombie cars" from the source may be the best way to solve the problem, and it is also the lowest cost method. As mentioned above, there are three main reasons for the emergence of "zombie cars", among which the owner's artificial abandonment behavior can be dissuaded through policy guidance. If the vehicle scrapping process system can be further improved, and the responsibility of the owner is appropriately strengthened, it will help the owner to actively reduce the abandonment of the vehicle. However, at present, except for a very small number of cities that implement vehicle purchase restriction policies, there is no relevant regulation that can restrain car owners from abandoning vehicles at will and not scrapping them.
The number of "zombie cars" is rising year by year, not only a major waste of renewable resources, but also to people's lives will cause more and more troubles, for the traffic management department, the governance of "zombie cars" chaos has quickly risen to the same importance of traffic congestion. Are there many "zombie cars" around you? Do you have better advice for addressing this phenomenon? Let's talk in the comments section. (Text/UVIS Auto Ride)
