Fine

Fines are used in many areas as a sanction to make those affected aware of their misconduct and to motivate them to comply with the regulations in the future.

Anyone who has committed a misdemeanor may be subject to a warning or a fine. If a road user has violated traffic laws and regulations, this traffic offense is punished according to the warning or fine catalog. The amount of the warning or fine depends on the type of traffic violation.

A fine is imposed for traffic violations that can be punished with an amount of 10 euros or more according to the catalog of offenses. When a fine is issued, administrative fees and delivery charges are also due.
