  - Add it to the municipal tax assessment. Not allow you to reregister your vehicle until the ticket is paid. Depends on the jurisdiction. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 13:33 3
    - Potentially boot you. -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 13:37 2
      - I got towed in NYC and had to pay the parking tickets, towing fee, plus a per-night "storage" fee at the action lot. - loosilu Nov 19, 13:39 1
