Does it matter if you are in arrears with street parking fees?

Under normal circumstances, it still matters if you don’t pay the parking fee on the street.

The main reason is that the electronic monitoring charges require the car owner to pay the fee himself. If the fine is not paid after the expiration date, it may affect the personal credit report. Therefore, it is better for car owners to go to the relevant departments to pay the corresponding fines within the designated time.

Fine:

If the car owner is electronically photographed while parking on the roadside, the parking fine will be sent to the car owner via text message within three days after driving away. On the car owner's personal mobile phone, if he fails to go to the relevant department to pay the fine within the specified time, a certain late fee may be incurred.

Most of the intersections have been equipped with electronic eyes to take pictures of parking, so the time between parking and leaving will be clearly recorded. If you don’t want to pay at this time, you may have to face personal problems. Credit reporting issues will be affected. If the car owner chooses to park on the roadside, the staff of the relevant department may just place a white note on the car window. It doesn't matter if he chooses not to pay. It will not affect the individual. If he chooses to drive away, it will be fine. That’s it.

The money required by the fine to be paid by the offender should be his legitimate income, and the penalty of confiscation should be applied to the illegal income. Fines are sanctions rather than execution measures, and are therefore distinguished from execution penalties. The purpose of fines is to punish offenders and warn them not to repeat the offense again in the future, while the purpose of execution penalties is to force actors to perform their obligations and make those who do not perform their obligations assume new and continuous payment obligations, thereby prompting them to fulfill their obligations.

Fine is the most widely applicable form of punishment, mainly applicable to administrative violations for the purpose of seeking illegal economic benefits, or to compensating for economic losses caused by illegal activities by depriving offenders of their property.
