We regularly hear — virtually on a daily basis — about the huge numbers of outstanding traffic fines which seemingly go uncollected. Why? I’m not sure.
The amount of uncollected outstanding fines has to be into the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, and nobody seems to be particularly bothered by it.
That said, I suggest that the money go to charity.
One of those days, if not already, the fines will soon be discharged — just written off.
The charities could even use a collection agency — somebody else can figure that out.
Right now, my concern is that the fines are not just written off — if it’s not too late already.

Ron, I have been working in certain fields that put me close to many of these, and believe me they are attachment proof, any collection agency will tell you that. Like I said, many don't work unless for cash, hold no bank account, and just don't care. Some are actually paying $25.00 a month against thousands or even tens of thousands. They have no salary to attach, one guy who owes just about the most never worked a day in his life legitimately, has cash but only enough for himself. Many of these use food banks and live any way they can as long as they don't work above board. After 35 years in my field which includes collections, as well as a food bank volunteer, I can attest to the fact they they have beaten the system, some do. The numbers are small, and some of these people have been put into collection agencies, with nothing to show for the efforts. Yes some can be gotten at, but many sadly will never come to paying a fraction, if any of what they owe. Worse, many are still driving without license, insurance or registration. For my part, and government doesn't agree, work it off cleaning highways, ditches, doing labor work, and living in prison until it's paid back, even if it takes 20 years, that is the only way to curb it. This is 35 years of dealing with and knowing these people talking.
