Compensate
This year, traffic fines have already increased by 8.3 percent, but it does not stop there. As of next year, the fines for traffic violations will increase by another ten percent.
This year, traffic fines have already risen by 8.6 percent to compensate for inflation. Traffic fines will rise again next year. And pretty too. The Spring Memorandum that Minister of Finance Sigrid Kaag sent to the House of Representatives on Friday shows that traffic fines will increase by another 10 percent in 2024.
Increasing traffic fines should contribute to covering the budget deficit. With the exception of the Ministry of Defence, all ministries contribute to the government-wide coverage target. According to the national government, the Ministry of Justice and Security contributes €190 million to this. The current fine receipts from the Ministry of Justice and Security are disappointing due to failures in section controls and roadworks, according to the Spring Memorandum. From 2025, the Ministry of Justice and Security will invest almost €800 million over a period of four years in the maintenance of speed cameras and route equipment.
Those who drive a red light can expect a print of €308 next year. With the phone in your hand behind the wheel you now receive a fine of €380, but it will be €418 next year. Driving on the left unnecessarily? Now €240, next year €264. Speeding fines will also increase by 10 percent next year.
