New York – Indonesian envoys are among the worst parking offenders here. Diplomats at the Indonesian Consulate and at Jakarta's Permanent Mission to the United Nations committed 8,966 parking violations between 1997 and last year.

They owed as much as US$973,502 (S$1.8 million) in unpaid fines. However, the worst offender was Egypt. Its diplomats committed 15,924 violations and owed nearly US$1.7 million. The envoys get away with it because of diplomatic immunity.
