A car is blocking you. What to do.
Second-row parking, a car across a gate, or someone boxing you in on a narrow street: the problem is almost never finding the car, it is finding the driver. Here is the order that actually works, and where a QR sticker fits.
1. Look for a way to contact the owner
Check the windscreen and the rear window before anything else. A phone number under the wiper, a valet card, or a QR sticker on the glass all mean you can solve this in a minute. If there is a Reyahh sticker, open your phone camera, scan it, choose “the car is blocking me”, and send. The owner gets the alert with your message and, if you share it, a pin showing where you are.
2. Ask the people who are already there
A doorman, a shop next to the car, a parking attendant, or a security desk very often knows the driver or can call them. This is still the fastest route in a residential street or in front of a building.
3. Call the traffic police if it is genuinely blocking
If the car is stopping you from leaving a property or blocking the road, and you cannot reach the owner, report it to the traffic police rather than trying to move the car yourself.
In an emergency, call the police on 122. Reyahh is not a replacement for the police or the ambulance service; it is a way to reach the owner.
4. Do not do these
- Do not write on the car, scratch it, or let air out of the tyres. That turns a parking problem into a criminal one.
- Do not post the car’s plate publicly. It exposes the owner’s details and does not get the car moved.
- Do not leave a note with your own phone number visible on the glass.
If it happens to you every week
If you park where other people regularly need you to move, the fix is on your own car rather than theirs. A sticker on your glass means the person waiting sends you one tap instead of standing there, and you find out before it becomes an argument. Your number never appears on the glass.
Common questions
- How do I contact a car owner without their phone number?
- If the car has a QR sticker, scan it and send a report through the page it opens; the owner gets the alert without either side seeing a phone number. Without a sticker, ask the doorman, the nearby shops, or the building security, and report the car to the traffic police if it is genuinely obstructing.
- What if I cannot reach the owner at all?
- Ask the people already there, then report the car to the traffic police if it is genuinely blocking you. Do not move the car yourself. Reyahh only helps when the car already has a tag to scan.
- Does the owner see who scanned the sticker?
- They see the reason you picked, the message you typed, and your location only if you chose to share it. Your phone number is not part of the report.
