Concrete scientific evidence is still lacking, but we are fairly certain that in addition to smell and taste, you also lose driving skills and spatial awareness in the event of a corona infection. That is the only explanation for the level on the Dutch highways since the lockdown. People prefer to drive on the far left and if possible without the right lighting. Almost danger money must be added to the kilometer allowance from the employer. Or at least frustration money.
Fines for not making hands-free calls will go up, just like driving on the left
In any case, the good news is that these people can help fill the gap in the budget. As of today, the fine for driving on the left unnecessarily will go from 150 euros to 220 euros. Also good: the fine for not using a telephone hands-free will go from 250 to 350 euros. At the same time, the speeding fines for the first 10 km/h above the permitted speed will be reduced by 15 percent. In addition, on 130 roads you can now only be fined from 134 km/h.
Fine for making noise with a car will be reduced
Strangely enough, parking in a disabled parking space goes from 400 to 310 euros. As previously announced, the fine for making unnecessary noise with the car will also be reduced. Drivers of Honda Civics with a downspout as exhaust and Golfs with pops and bangs can now count on 250 euros instead of 400 euros.
Why the rates of speeding fines are going down
‘The cabinet wants to punish serious and dangerous traffic violations more severely and relatively minor traffic violations lower. The extra fine receipts from this will be used to be able to reduce the fines for minor traffic violations,’ the central government reports.
A repeat of last year
The same message came out from the government around this time last year, but these changes were not implemented or reset with the new rates for 2022. Then the small speeding fines were also reduced by 15 percent and the CJIB reduced the same violations. At the time, all fines were still a tenner cheaper.
