Starting from January 1, 2022, a real blow will come for all motorists who usually do not respect the rules of the road and who prefer to commit violations and pay fines from week to week rather than comply with the rules.
In 2023 will trigger a 15% increase in all finesthis is the highest increase since the new highway code came into force.
In 1977, exactly in the month of January, an increase of 17.5% was applied, calculated over 4 years and not over 2.
l December 31, 2020 andA decrease of 0.2% was applied, which today appears to be a mirage given that over the years, 2021 and 2022 there has only been talk of increases, in all sectors. Probably the increase was established due to the increase in accidents because few respect the rules.
Increased penalties, that’s what’s changing
Should the increase in penalties come into effect starting from 1 January 2023, there would be talk of an increase of 14.9%. So here are the consequences that each motorist would end up having to face. A motorist who stops in a prohibited area no longer has to pay 42 euros but 48 euros. Anyone who doesn’t wear seat belts from €83, has to pay €95, whoever drives with the phone in hand does not receive a fine of €165, but one of €190, the same thing applies to those who stop in the stalls reserved for the disabled.
If instead you pass at the traffic light when the red is still active, you no longer pay 167 euros but 192 euros, if you drive without an MOT from 173 euros, you will pay 199 euros in January. Then it goes from 543 to 624 euros for drunk driving considering a blood alcohol content between 0.5 and 0.8. On the other hand, those who exceed the speed limits by more than 60 km per hour no longer have to pay a fine of 845 euros, but one of 971 euros. If you go around without insurance coverage, you no longer receive a fine of €866 but one of €995. Finally, anyone who drives without a license or with a license of a different category than the vehicle no longer receives a fine of €5100, but a hefty fine of €5860.
The increase has not yet been established, it may be subject to increases
Among other things, it has not yet been said that the increase we are talking about is really that of 14.9% because it could increase over the next few weeks given that the trend is still growing strongly.
Data in hand, we can say that in August the recorded increase was 10.4%, while in September it was 11.4%. In just one month, the increase was 1%, so it cannot be excluded that between now and January, the situation gets worse.
