After the accident, the fastest way to release the car is for both parties to reach an agreement and sign an agreement with the traffic police, and then the traffic police will issue a simple responsibility letter, and the car can be released on the spot. If the two sides can't reach an agreement, the traffic police should make an accident responsibility confirmation within 10 working days, and the car can be released on the third day after the confirmation letter comes out. However, if the injured party proposes property preservation, the driver will have to pay a certain deposit or drive the car away. First, when a car is detained in a traffic accident, you can take it out. As long as the traffic accident is handled well, the car can be collected. According to "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Accidents", "The traffic administrative department of the public security organ may detain the accident vehicle and motor vehicle driver's license for the need of collecting evidence, and issue a certificate of administrative compulsory measures. The detained vehicles and motor vehicle driver's licenses shall be properly kept. " Second, how to take out the car that was detained by the traffic police? (1) For the three-day search for an appraisal agency and the time limit for detaining the vehicle, please refer to the Provisions on Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Accidents. Article 37 If inspection and appraisal are required, the traffic administrative department of the public security organ shall entrust a qualified appraisal institution to conduct inspection and appraisal within three days from the end of the accident site investigation. (2) Vehicle inspection is generally 20 days. Article 38 of the Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Accidents stipulates that the traffic administrative department of the public security organ shall agree with the inspection and appraisal institution on the completion period of inspection and appraisal, and the agreed period shall not exceed twenty days. For more than twenty days, it shall be reported to the traffic administrative department of the public security organ at the next higher level for approval, but the longest period shall not exceed sixty days. (3) notify the parties to lead the car for 5 days. Article 44 of the Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Accidents stipulates that within five days after the conclusion of inspection and appraisal is confirmed, the traffic administrative department of the public security organ shall notify the parties to obtain the detained accident vehicles and motor vehicle driving licenses. To sum up, the inspection and appraisal time will generally not exceed 30 days, and some accident cars may be recovered in a few days. If there is still no news after 30 days, the owner can go directly to the traffic police brigade to ask for the car inspection report. If you don't return the car, you can go to the traffic police office building to find a place called "administrative department" to file an administrative reconsideration, and then take the car inspection report to pick up the car.

Legal basis: Paragraph 2 of Article 72 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that "the traffic police shall conduct an inquest, check and collect evidence on the scene of traffic accidents; Due to the need to collect evidence, the accident vehicle can be detained, but it should be properly kept for verification. " Article 49 of Chapter VI Investigation and Evidence Collection of the Code for Handling Traffic Accidents stipulates that if it is necessary to detain an accident vehicle and its driving license due to inspection and appraisal, the traffic police shall make a Certificate of Administrative Compulsory Measures for Public Security Traffic Management on the spot and deliver it to the parties concerned, and inform them of the time limit for detaining the vehicle and the certificate.
