My car slid down a little incline and partially into a street. Perhaps some wiseguy kid pushed it, or perhaps my emergency brake did not hold. I don't know. On it I found 3 summons. The first was, of course, for the car being in the street. The second was for not having a valid inspection sticker. And the third was for incorrect license plates. I just bought the car and haven't gotten around to registering it yet. However, I have gotten it inspected and it is insured. I looked carefully on the summons and the VIN # of my car was not on the summons. What happens if I don't pay the summons? Do the police keep a record of their own with the VIN #? Would the person from whom I purchased the car be held liable for the tickets? I plan on registering the car this week and the car will be parked near where I received the 3 summons. What are my chances that a diligent policeman will recheck the car and be able to find out if I did not pay the outstanding summons? Are these parking violations?

If you don't go to court or pay the summons they will issue a warrant for your arrest, yes they are parking violations, and yes you will go to jail if you don't pay them

I think it depends on how serious the matter is, remember if insurance is involved they will need your vin # too. In NJ if you get a fine or ticket and don't pay you lose your license! They usually don't transfer summons from one owner to another. That was on a Judge Judy show, but when you sell and hand over the title and the person who tries to register the car has troubles your in trouble. If the cops want they can be PIGS about it. Do what's right for Good Karma!

I had a situation where my unregistered vechicle had no place but on the street to park. The car was not running and I never intended to get it repaired. During the course of 2 weeks I got 15 parking tickets because of it being unregistered. I wrote a letter to the Commisioner explaining that I had no intentions of ever driving this car again and the fact that I could find not 1 wrecking yard to take my piece of junk. All of my tickets were waived and they arranged to get my vehicle off of the street. Maybe try taking this approach to your situation and you may get some understanding of your particular circumstnces. By the way your VIN# is tied to your license plate number so that information is readily available to them.

most officers do. if the vehicle is registered to you the tickets are yours if not when you do register the vehicle the tickets will have to be taken care of. yes these are parking violations just some more or less severe...

It would be wise to just pay the fines to avoid any of these problems because they will catch up to you eventually.
