I'm completely ignorant on this topic, but I thought diplomatic immunity would apply to a certain extent here?

I'm not saying she gets off scott free, but rather expelled from the US.

Does anyone know the rules?

[Labcat]

She apparently did not have full immunity. 

Harf said as India's deputy consul general, Khobragade does not have full diplomatic immunity, but rather consular immunity from the jurisdiction of U.S. courts only with respect to acts performed in the exercise of consular functions.

Diplomats are not immune from a number of things.  Diplomatic vehicles even receive parking tickets.

From 2011:

Diplomats owe $17 Million in New York parking fines

Obviously they are not immune from tickets being issued, but paying the fines is evidently, optional.

Why doesn't NYC tow the vehicles after ten or so tickets on a vehicle, or at least attach the ole Denver boot?

Is your question rhetorical or do you actually want an answer?  If an answer, ask NYC.

Rhetorical.

We both realize NYC will not collect the fees.

The cars are covered by diplomatic immunity.

Why waste the effort in writing the ticket?
