Washington, D.C., is owed over $1 billion in traffic violation fees from more than 6 million unpaid tickets, according to a report.
According to a Washington Post review of city records, thousands of drivers have been repeatedly skipping out on paying the city for violating traffic laws. The tickets in most cases come from drivers who speed, park illegally or drive recklessly.
Several administrative and logistic issues make it difficult for the city to collect its money consistently. If a car has two unpaid traffic violations older than 60 days, the car can be booted or towed away if it is found parked illegally. But that is only if it can be found, and if the towing and booting crews can get there fast enough, an issue exacerbated by understaffed crews and a prohibition against towing a car on private property.
