Whether you are a cyclist, pedestrian or car driver, all kinds of rules apply in traffic. These rules are there to make traffic safer. And also to reduce the number of road casualties. The Public Prosecution Service supervises the enforcement of these rules. The Public Prosecution Service makes agreements about this with the police, handles criminal and appeal cases and manages route checks. Within the Public Prosecution Service CVOM is responsible for traffic. This prosecutor's office mainly looks at offenses that occur frequently in traffic, use of alcohol and drugs, distraction, excessive speed and driving through red lights.
The public prosecutor pays extra attention to frequent offenders. For example, if you drive too fast, have drunk too much alcohol or are distracted because you are texting, the risk of accidents increases. For those who don't follow the traffic rules, there is bad news. The traffic fines have become a lot more expensive this year. The rates for traffic fines have increased by 2 percent. In order to emphasize the seriousness of certain traffic violations, some specific traffic violations have become considerably more expensive.
For example, holding a mobile phone or other communication device in the car while driving has become €100 more expensive compared to last year. Last year you were fined €250 for this and this year it is no less than €350. Perhaps worth considering driving MONO or purchasing a car kit. Anyone who likes to stay unnecessarily in the left lane runs the risk of a fine of €220. Last year the fine for driving on the left unnecessarily was €150. The fine for not giving priority to someone who has is also not tender, you will lose € 350 for this. That is an increase of no less than €100 compared to last year.
Fortunately, the administration costs have remained the same, they amount to €9 and come on top of your fine. There are not only price increases to report, some fines have also been reduced in price. Wrongly parking in a disabled parking space has become €90 cheaper, it now costs €310. Making unnecessary noise with a motor vehicle now costs €400 instead of €250. If you don't give people the opportunity to get off a tram or bus properly, it will now cost you €250 instead of €400.
