| UBC Parking Ticket
I heard that UBC parking ticket cannot do anything to your driving record as well as any other record. What are the consequences of having UBC tickets?

in that case you better pay it off, unless you want the cops at your door tomorrow morning.

They'll probably be a warrant for your arrest by Campus security. It's the same thing as getting a speeding ticket in the US.

if you're a UBC student, you better pay it. Otherwise, you will NOT be able to graduate if the car is registered under your name and stuff like that...

SO MANY stupid responses here.
Just ignore your tickets if you want to save $ and be an ASS.
Just pay the fines if you want to waste $ and be a Coward.
I have no experience in getting parking tickets @ UBC, but I know they cannot do nothing about your graduation.

I was looking at the ubc parking site and it said something about having 3 or more unpaid tickets would result in the vehicle being towed.
GomGom, if you really don't want to pay your tickets just avoid getting another one.

If your license plate was previously registered with UBC parking... such as when you get a parking permit, they will trace the ticket back to you and changing your plates will not matter.

awesome thread to stumble upon.... Got a ticket three weeks ago and ignored it. I was wondering why I hadn't woken up in a cell yet getting asked if I wanted a cock meat sandwich.

i have gotten so many tickets over the years and was lucky enough not to get my car towed. i have changed my license plates twice already since my freshman year. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET.
you won't go to jail in canada just because you have not paid off your parking tickets. if anything, you'll probably be asked to pay off what you owe when you renew your car insurance, and that's only if you owe the city. ubc parking is private and can't do shit to you

You may be interested in this: http://www.theprovince.com/news/orde...548/story.html Quote:
A judge has found that UBC has been unlawfully issuing parking tickets since 1990 and has ordered that more than $4 million in fines be paid back to thousands of violators.
In 2006 B.C. Supreme Court Justice Richard Goepel certified a class-action lawsuit on the issue after representative plaintiff Daniel Barbour filed suit against the university.
Barbour, a Vancouver chartered accountant, was angry when his two-door Jaguar was impounded after he left it in a parking lot on Wesbrook Mall on the UBC campus.
He was legally parked at the time but was ordered to pay $200 to get his car back after the university alleged he’d violated the parking regulations on at least one other occasion.
Up until the start of the trial, UBC argued that the parking fines were lawfully collected under the University Act but then admitted that the scheme was illegal.
It then submitted that there were “private law justifications” for the regulations, but in a ruling released Monday, Goepel said that those arguments were not sufficient to uphold the fines.
The judge said that UBC retains the power to remove vehicles that are improperly parked and to recover costs incurred, but he noted that in most cases the fines are far in excess of the damage caused to UBC by the miscreant parker, and said that those penalized trusted that UBC had the power to impose the fines.
“There is something fundamentally unfair that those good citizens should not recover the money that UBC had no right to collect in the first place,” he said in ordering restitution.
“I’m extremely pleased,” said Barbour. “The court has recognized that UBC has been unlawfully collecting fines and unlawfully towing cars solely because people had unpaid tickets. The court has found that those are both illegal activities.”
Barbour added that he likes the university but “they have to stop this particular practice. I certainly know professors out at UBC, students out at UBC, and they’ve all had their cars towed in this sort of fashion. And they’ve been rooting me on.”
Sharon Matthews, Barbour’s lawyer, said there were still several issues to be determined, including setting up a system for people to come forward to be paid.
Court heard that from January 1990 to December 2005, a total of 432,847 traffic tickets were issued and more than half remain unpaid. From September 2000 to March 2006, violation notices were issued to 115,456 licence plates. Only 20 per cent of violators were responsible for nearly half of the violation notices.
