A handwritten note: "Be right back" on the windshield is not an option. But if you add your phone number to this, then other drivers can always call you and ask you to remove the car. Alas, an ordinary sheet of paper may go unnoticed or fly off the dashboard. And he is constantly wrinkled, torn and just lost.
It is much easier and more practical to get a sign in the car on the windshield with a phone number - bright and certainly attracting attention. It not only makes it possible to contact you by mobile, but also “reconfigures” the caller in advance in a friendly way. A correct signature, an apology or a joke with a share of self-criticism will reduce the degree of aggression towards you.
A business card will help minimize the inconvenience caused by you and avoid many troubles. With it, you can:
- Show respect to the owner of an accidentally blocked car - the person will not have to wait long for your return or try to pass, risking damage to both cars. The ability to contact you increases the chances of solving the problem in a civilized way.
- Remove the car from the roadside in time for the passage of special equipment until the tow truck does it.
- Avoid serious conflict and protect the car from bricks in the glass, punctured tires, scratches through the entire side or offensive stickers. It's better to go out to the phone than to jump out under the howl of an alarm.
And in general: the fine for violating the parking rules is still less than the same fine plus the rescue of vehicles from the special parking lot. So do something nice for the inspector, if you already had to ignore the traffic rules - leave your contact number. But if you're a really polite driver, don't abuse your business cards so that it doesn't become a habit. The plate "Temporarily parked" with the number is not an indulgence, but a necessary measure.
Parking card as a gift
By the way, this is a great idea: real car ladies and gentlemen love stylish, and most importantly, useful accessories for their cars. So if there are "horse" friends in your environment who have not yet guessed to buy a cool sign with a phone number on the windshield, consider that you have already found a gift for them for the next holiday. For ladies, choose bright and beautiful cards (preferably in body color), for men, get something more impressive.
The Polite Driver set itself consists of several items:
- Cute card with an inscription
- Cash registers with stickers
- Suction cups to attach / unhook a business card with a number at any time
And for the most creative drivers, we offer flip cards for extreme parking with a dozen of playful excuses to choose from.
The total motorization of our society for ordinary motorists often turns into serious troubles. And the main one, perhaps, is the lack of the required number of car seats. Of course, in small regional cities this problem is less acute, but in megacities it threatens to develop into a total transport collapse.
In fact, the smaller problems in the regions are not at all related to the size of the population, but only to the lower prosperity of citizens, for most of whom a car is still a luxury. However, growing prosperity only postpones this problem, but in the future it will definitely arise.
In Russia, they are now actively fighting over how to solve the problem of parking. However, neither the increase in fines nor give the desired result. And motorists have learned to solve the problem in their own way.
Surely, many have seen cars in parking lots near shopping centers and other places loaded with parked cars indicating the phone number of its owner. As a rule, a corresponding sign is attached to the windshield of the car, which makes it easy to call the owner of the “supporting” car and ask him to clear the passage.
Of course, to create obstacles for the exit of parked vehicles, frankly, is not good. However, in the life of a modern city dweller, there are often cases when it is simply impossible to do otherwise.

Almost everyone already has such signs, but for some reason, many do not even try to look for a parking place and simply do not want to park their car in paid parking lots. A lot of conflicts arise due to an overabundance of cars on the sidewalk, so before putting up such a sign, it is better to look for a parking space.
But those who say that there is not enough time, you just need to leave early, because everyone knows about traffic jams and few people leave early to find a place to park.Igor
I started leaving a phone number long before this tradition became fashionable. It seems to me that this is an indicator of respect for other drivers. If you have to block the exit, if you please, ensure communication with you. And everyone who is afraid to hang out a sign with a phone number risks, at best, running out to the sound of an alarm, and at worst, getting a scratch on a wing or door. Everyone has a key, and it has become fashionable to scratch cars that don't park well.

And in our provincial town, unfortunately, the habit of leaving a phone number under the windshield has not yet taken root. A rare conscious driver does this, which is a pity. The exit of my car was blocked twice in the last month alone, and both times by blonde girls. No, I have nothing bad against blondes, but you have to turn on your brain in such situations! You need to treat other drivers with respect, because they, too, can rush somewhere. I always leave the number under the windshield. But such blondes will apparently have to be taught a lesson with tougher measures - I will call a tow truck. I think this will quickly teach them courtesy on the road.

To be honest, if not for what was written, then I would have thought that the smartest. The idea just came to me on its own after a very unfortunate visit to a customer for work. The man, whom I had the imprudence to lock up, was extremely annoyed by what had happened and “to put it mildly” intelligibly in simple terms explained that I was wrong ... After this incident, I printed out and beautifully designed for myself a plate with a phone number and adapted it to suction cups. Alternatively, it can be applied to lightweight plastic, and the suction cups cling to glass perfectly. Now he always rides with me in the glove compartment in case of extreme, but sometimes, urgently needed parking. If introduced as a trend, it would be generally wonderful.

And our town is small and people either do not want to do this, or do not yet know about this method. It is necessary, probably, to be the first and use such a sign with a phone number. I often go to the hospital with my children, the parking space is small, and the people are dark, so you have to prop each other up, not only do you wait in line at the hospital for two hours, but then you also have to wait for the owner of the car, who locked you up. I heard about this, but I didn’t put it into practice, perhaps it’s worth starting with yourself and people will catch up.
Denis
I have made such a plate with my phone number for several years and I never forget to leave it. It always works perfectly, there are few car owners dissatisfied with the expectation. But once there was a comical situation. I was also propped up by a young lady, not forgetting to leave a sign. I call, I call - he does not pick up the phone. Waited forty minutes. When she finally appeared, it turned out that she ... forgot her phone in the car! She looked so guilty that my anger immediately evaporated.

I work in the city center, it is not always possible to park on the main street. Therefore, you have to park the car in the yards near the center. Of course, I leave my phone number, because there can always be one that my car can interfere with. I also try to put it on without blocking the exit for anyone, but the last time there was the following case. I parked opposite the gate of a private house, there was no inscription on them about a request not to block the passage, but after a couple of hours they called me and asked me to remove the car. I had to fulfill this requirement. In general, I can say that the number plates allow you to solve problems in a civilized way without a pronounced conflict. The main thing is to pick up the phone.

Overloaded car parks are a real scourge of the modern metropolis. I live in Chelyabinsk, and in the center, not only during rush hour, but in general, at any daytime, there is no place to stumble! I bought the plates in a car shop, enterprising comrades have already set up the production of a new accessory in the range with might and main =). I attached my phone to the back and front of the car, however, now I have to run to the car several times all day ...
Asya
I have been doing this for a long time too! There are countless cars in the yard, so whoever arrived last, at least leave the car on the lawn! Joke! Therefore, literally immediately when buying a car, I printed out my phone number on a sheet. And then I made a custom-made sticker, with humor. And sometimes the driver of the car, whose place I took, will be angry like a dog, read it, and that's it, the conflict has been settled! So this is a good idea, I recommend everyone to do this.

Signs are signs, comrade drivers, but let's still not abuse it and try to find a parking space without disturbing anyone. Why do I say so? Because I also had a case: Renault propped me up with a sign, but my phone, as if to evil, ran out of power. I had to ask people, not everyone reacts normally, you won’t believe it, but all this was unpleasant to me.
Lyudmila Bystraya
I used to see plates with a number only when I came to Moscow. Now in my city of Voronezh this is not uncommon at all. At gas stations, they give out such signs for free as a bonus. She got her license 2 years ago. In the very first month, a mirror was demolished in the parking lot (of course, it was my fault that I parked unsuccessfully). After that, I clearly decided that it was time for me to leave my number. Such pleasure is too expensive. A friend had an interesting case. She left her number on the back window. Forgot to remove. And in the evening the guy called and offered to go to the cinema. They are now in the process of getting married. That's how it happens.
Natalia
I once left such a sign with my phone number on the windshield in the car near the Shopping Center, then some individuals got tired of calling and getting to know each other. I don't use them anymore and I threw that label away.
Ivanovich
The phone number on the windshield is a necessary measure, but not a solution at all. With the increase in the number of cars on the streets of cities, the problem of their reconstruction and a completely different building architecture arose. And the principles of building new microdistricts remain unchanged, and something needs to be done about it.
Maria
This is how motorists have been acting for a long time, I myself have a prepared A4 sheet in my glove box with a phone number written in black felt-tip pen. I never look for a place to park at all (it's useless), I leave the car where it suits me, put a piece of paper on the dashboard and leave. The most interesting thing is that they searched for me five or six times a year, in other cases I did not bother anyone. So feel free to leave your phone number and go about your business. Just don't forget your phone!
Dmitriy
I had two cases with such plates. My car was locked in colored women's small cars with flowers on the steering wheel and a large bright piece of paper with a phone number. So, when calling the owner, it turned out that she would not be able to come up earlier than in a couple of hours. One time I just had to wait, because there was simply no other way to leave. The second time I got out of the trap through the sidewalk and green lawn. Didn't know you could just call a tow truck. Next time I will definitely do that.
Sergei
Phone plates are just salvation and the only chance to rescue a locked car. Agree, this is a huge stress when you are in a hurry, and your car was locked up: a lot of nerve cells are wasted from impotence and anger. That's why I'm for signs. If only the girls did not forget the phones in the cars
Alexei
Having a phone number on your windshield is a very useful practice. I do this myself when I come to the country. Leaving the car without it means giving a damn about people. I made a plate on a printer a long time ago and laminated it. Although there are also good tips for making a plate. If you don't have it, I advise you to do it. Very comfortably!
Yuri
I had a case: I also posted a sign and sit in my office quietly working. For some time, a man runs up to me and almost obscenely yells that I'm preventing him from leaving. When I asked why he did not call me, he replied that he still did not have enough money to spend! So he ran looking for me. I thought the guy was just sick.
Catherine
By the way, a great idea is to hang signs with a phone number on your car. And it would be great if everyone could use it! I had a situation where I became the culprit of an accident precisely because I was locked up, and I had to go urgently! As a result, trying to leave, I damaged two cars (my own and the one who locked me up), lost six hours of time and a bunch of nerves! But all this might not have happened if the owner had indicated his phone number!
Vladimir
Yes. a sign with a phone number is the way out. Now I have a box in the underground garage. In the courtyard. Very convenient but very expensive. Saved for two years. So I don't worry about my car. But before I had to leave the car in the yard. I leave for work very early. And almost always I had to call the owner of the car that was preventing me from leaving. It's good if it comes out right away. And sometimes we had to wait quite a long time. And get nervous.
Sveta
I also use this board. Only they gave it to me during some kind of promotion. I wrote my number there and, if necessary, I put it on the windshield. This, of course, helps a lot. But I prefer to use it only as a last resort, I'd rather drive an extra circle and find a parking spot. All the same, people are different. Some other psycho is inadequate
Good afternoon, dear reader.
Perhaps I will start this article with the fact that the number of cars on domestic roads is growing every year, which inevitably entails new difficulties for drivers. For example, every day it becomes more and more difficult to find a parking space where your car will not interfere with the movement of others. Today we will deal with a partial solution to this problem.
Naturally, first of all, I urge you not to interfere with other road users. However, sometimes this is not possible. For example, you brought a refrigerator, and someone's car is already standing at the entrance to the entrance. We'll have to "lock" him, albeit for a few minutes. Well, in order to save the nerves of another driver, we need windshield plate with phone number.
No nameplate on windshield
Here are a few reasons why you need to have a sign with a phone number on the windshield:
- Firstly, it will save the nerves of the other driver, but first of all, think about your car.
- A law-abiding driver who cannot leave will call a tow truck that will take your car to a car impound (clause 12.4).
- However, it rarely comes to a parking lot, usually the violator's car is sorted out right on the spot. Angry drivers can flatten their tires, throw bricks on the hood, or break windows. Naturally, in the end, you may restore the car at the expense of a vandal, but it will take a lot of time.
- Also, your car can be damaged if you fail to avoid it. I have seen similar accidents in practice.
In general, it is much easier to pre-make a parking sign with a phone number and put it in the glove box for the time being than to look for a "blunder" who could not get around you in a narrow alley.
