What are the consequences of not paying fines for illegal parking?
2 Answers
Consequences of not handling illegal parking penalties: If not addressed within a demerit point cycle, the violation record will automatically carry over to the next cycle, affecting its usage; inability to process license renewal and other services; failure to pass annual inspections; if more than three violations remain unpenalized, being stopped by traffic police may result in the confiscation of both the driver's license and the vehicle. Colors of parking space markings: 1. Blue parking spaces: Generally, blue parking spaces indicate free parking spots, usually located around government office areas. 2. White parking spaces: White parking spaces typically denote paid parking, commonly found along urban roads. 3. Yellow parking spaces: Yellow parking spaces usually represent reserved spots, either leased or set up upon request by relevant units. 4. Dotted lines: If parking spaces are marked with dotted lines or labeled as temporary parking, long-term parking is not permitted.
I used to be careless when driving and got fined several times for illegal parking. The first time, I didn't pay it, thinking the amount was small and I could delay it for a few days. But a month later, I received a notice that the fine had doubled with added interest. That's when I panicked and rushed to pay it, wasting both time and money. The worst part was that the overdue payment affected my credit record, and later my credit card application got rejected. My advice is to take immediate action and pay the fine as soon as you receive the violation notice. Don't regret it like I did. Delaying isn't worth it—credit score repair takes a long time and brings endless troubles.
