Parking Enforcement Notification Service
Do you know how many cars are registered in Korea? According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the number of registered vehicles in the first quarter of 2022 was 25.07 million. That’s 1 car for every 2 people. It is slightly lower than the United States (1.1 people), Japan (1.7 people), and Germany (1.6 people), but the number of cars has increased.
As there are so many cars, there are many vehicles that violate parking and stopping when going out of town. Among them, the parking violation is ‘Ah! I parked for a while, but I got a fine!’ and often feel sorry for them.
There are cases where you are caught in a parking violation crackdown when driving a car in the city, but the fine varies depending on the region and vehicle type. The fine for passenger vehicles (4 tons or less) is KRW 40,000 in general areas and KRW 80,000 in special areas. Vans over 4 tons are 50,000 won in general areas and 90,000 won in special areas. In addition, 10,000 won will be added if you spend more than 2 hours in the same place. You may end up paying more fines to save on parking.
So what can you do to avoid getting caught in a parking/stopping crackdown? The best way is to park in a paid parking lot when using public transportation or taking your car out, and do not park your car in a parking enforcement zone.
By the way, I can stand it for a while without even knowing it. In this case, there is an app that notifies you of parking enforcement information in advance or informs you of nearby parking lots. Is there really such a thing? Didn’t know yet? I’ll let you know.
A ‘whistle’ refers to a whistle. ‘Whistle’ is a smart app that tells you everything from traffic violations to illegal parking crackdowns. Beep!~ as if blowing a whistle. Anyone can use the Whistle app. Let’s take a closer look at everything from the registration process to how to use it.
First, sign up and install the ‘Whistle’ app (APP). If you search for ‘whistle’ in the Google Play Store, you will find Integrated Parking Enforcement Notification – Whistle.
After the app is installed, you need to register your license plate number and location information to receive enforcement notifications. And after agreeing to the terms and conditions, you must verify your identity. That way, when you can be caught in an illegal parking enforcement zone, you will be notified before you receive a fine bill.
After agreeing to the whistle terms and conditions, if you agree to the required terms and conditions, register the vehicle to receive parking/stop enforcement notifications. I registered my car, and when I turn on the app, the license plate number appears. Now, the process of registering for the Integrated Parking Enforcement Notification Whistle is complete.
One more thing here! The car at home is sometimes driven by the family. Just like when you buy insurance, you can sign up for a whistle for up to two people in one vehicle. For example, if my wife drives my car out, a crackdown notification should come to her wife’s cell phone number. So, her wife also registered as a user of my car.
At the end of the signup process, you will need to select a region in the regional notification settings. You can set not only where you live, but also other regions. If you have a region you visit often, please set it together. I can go anywhere, so I have notification services set up in most areas.
On the main Whistle screen, under My Vehicle Number, there are parking/stop enforcement, nearby parking lots, and violation/penalty menus. If you click Parking/Stop Enforcement, the enforcement status will appear. I did not violate parking and stopping, so there are 0 crackdowns.
If you park your car in a cracked area after installing the Whistle app, it will kindly inform you, “Parking and stopping of 1234, ○○-gu, Seongnam-si will be cracked down. If you do not move, fines may be imposed.”
Next, I clicked on a nearby parking lot. Looking near the second government building in Namyangju, where I went a while ago, it informs me of a nearby public parking lot. This menu is very useful when finding a place to park or stop. When I searched Hong Yu-reung, they kindly inform me of the public parking lot.
Violation fine details inquiry. Details of payment overdue will not be viewed until notified again. If you click OK after agreeing to the use of Violation Details Inquiry, the search results will appear. I do not have any fines such as parking and stopping violations and exclusive lane violations. You can also search for high-pass unpaid tolls.
In addition to this, you can use various menus such as chatting, #recommendation as a community service, LIVE, and free legal consultation. When you drive a car, there are cases where you get into a contact accident. At times like this, you may be confused and unable to think of how to deal with it. If you look at legal counseling, you can learn how to handle it.
In order not to obstruct the smooth flow of vehicles, you must never park your car in an illegal parking/stopping enforcement zone. Use ‘Whistle’, an integrated parking enforcement notification service, to live a smart parking life. Therefore, please avoid illegal parking or stopping on the road. We hope that accidents or damages due to illegal parking will not occur with ‘Whistle’, an integrated parking enforcement notice service in advance. The most precious money in the world is fines for illegal parking.
