Interesting Fact # 914 - Parking

Westminster Council in London has reported that more than 80% of parking fines on foreign-owned cars and motorbikes go unpaid.

(Currently they are owed more than £4.5m in parking fines. Not surprisingly the worst culprits are the owners of luxury cars. Seemingly a Lamborghini Murcielago owner has 17 unpaid tickets and owes £2,000. Ferrari Scaglietti - 19 tickets, £2,000. Rolls Royce Phantom - 23 tickets, £3,000. And an unspecified motorbike has 400 unpaid tickets and owes £45,000. I think a quick bit of clamping or a tow or two would solve the problem.)
