Out of curiosity, how does on forget to pay several parking tickets?

Normally, I'm a very forgetful person, but letting debt pile up is something I never allow myself to forget.

When I lived in Germany everyone paid their parking tickets religiously. In the UK you'd also have your car towed away until you paid your tickets with interest plus the storage and towing fee.

I found a parking ticket blowing down the street. I'm sure whoever owns it will be reminded in a timely fashion.

j/k Their license will be suspended and the fee will be treble after the expiration date. And they still won't know until they get pulled over or run a license check.

But the GP clearly knew they had multiple outstanding parking tickets. It's not like they causally didn't know.

edit/ I've been there personally and I was simply unable to afford them, it had nothing to do with forgetting. Thankfully I never had my car towed as a result.

There was a period where I was ticketed rather frequently for various reasons centering around having an overwhelmed schedule and needing to drive to parking constrained areas with lots of meters and complex rules. A few had been lost or forgotten. It would have probably used many fewer public resources if I had been sent a letter instead of a tow truck.
