Due to the lack of section control and road works, the Ministry of Justice and Security is facing disappointing revenues. You can also read that previously not all section controls on highways could be replaced, but this is now possible due to the additional budget.
Without belt: 176 euros
A fine for holding a smartphone while driving is now €380 and running a red light is €280. Driving without a seat belt carries a fine of 160 euros. So this will add 10 percent to everything. It is not yet clear when the penalties will be increased. The new rules could take effect on January 1.
