Victorian motorists owe a staggering $722 million dollars in unpaid fines, taxi drivers alone owe $36 million dollars.

Victorians managed to rack-up the $722 million dollars in fines in just five years.

The Herald Sun reports the State Government is set to write-off the figure.

Meanwhile it’s been revealed the state’s 10 worst culprits owe a combined $2.57 million dollars in unpaid fines.

The worst offender, a kensington man, owes $305,000 from about 1000 infringements.

The Sheriff Brendan Facey says despite the soaring figures, they are getting better at catching people who dodge fines thanks to numberplate recognition technology.
