To start with the most annoying finding when it comes to the traffic fines of 2023 in the Netherlands: overtaking someone on the right on the highway will probably be more expensive next year than unnecessarily driving on the left. In any case, almost all traffic fines will become more expensive in 2023 due to the inflation correction of almost 9 percent, according to the provisional rates.
At the moment there is still a lot of debate in the House of Representatives about the increased traffic fines in 2023. Not all parties think it is a good idea to make life even more expensive. Proponents of the increases say fines are an easily avoidable expense. The amounts will be reviewed in about two weeks.

The fines are also rounded off. A fine of 100 euros in 2022 will therefore become 110 euros next year. But that also means that fines of 250 euros are now 280 euros (so generously rounded up). In our other article you can read the amounts for speeding fines in 2023.
