Traffic offences in the EU

...no longer to remain unpunished

Speeding, drink driving offence, seat belt unfastened, read light violation… traffic offences committed abroad in the European Union shall not remain without punishment any longer.

In fact, a draft directive has been proposed by the European Commission to stop the impunity of drivers committing traffic offences abroad.

Creating an information exchange network would help national traffic authorities to identify foreign vehicles by their registration documents. Authorities would then be able to send notices of violation to the drivers, even if the vehicle is registered abroad.
