As I recall there was a similar story about a year ago about foreign diplomats not paying their parking tickets in New York. It's just diplomat arrogance and not limited to any nation. It's not like these fees aren't a write off, they are just being lazy.

It's not the same thing as a parking ticket. Parking tickets are avoidable - don't park illegally.

There's a treaty that says diplomats aren't subject to tax, including local taxes. The congestion charge is arguably a tax on anyone who wants to drive in Central London during peak times. Since the US Embassy is in the congestion zone, there's really no way to avoid the charge.
