Unpaid Parking Ticket

Most people don't take parking tickets seriously. In fact, studies show that 10 to 15 percent of all violators never pay their parking tickets. Even though they are as little as $5 in some cities, they can add up and make or break a city's budget. Some cities offer amnesty for an unpaid parking ticket, allowing residents to escape penalties if they come in during the amnesty period and pay at least 50 percent. Other cities and states are tougher on unpaid parking tickets. In Wisconsin, your registration can be suspended until the full amount of the unpaid parking ticket is paid. In Roanoke, Virginia you will get the "boot" (have your car disabled at the wheel) if you have more than five unpaid parking tickets. In some cases, drivers have been arrested at traffic stops when it was discovered they had unpaid parking tickets. Despite these measures, many cities still report huge numbers of unpaid parking tickets.
