Calgary drivers with unpaid traffic tickets beware: The province is coming after your income tax refunds, wages and bank savings.

The provincial government expanded to Calgary this year its crackdown on overdue fines, targeting speeders, red-light runners and others who break traffic safety laws and refuse to pay.

Of the $18 million in uncollected violations on Alberta's hit list, about $10 million stems from nearly 60,000 delinquent traffic tickets issued in this city -- money that should, for the most part, be flowing to the municipality.

The oldest overdue traffic ticket being pursued is nearly a decade old, Dear said, while the most unpaid fines attributed to a single driver numbers 64, worth about $12,000.
