Traffic fines in the Netherlands increased by 2023% in 8,6. From 2024, violating motorists should prepare to pay even more: despite the proposals of the Prosecutor's Office made in September to reduce traffic fines, they will increase by about 10%. The reasons are inflation and lack of funds for maintaining traffic cameras to record violations. In total, in 2024 the Ministry of Justice and Security plans to receive 43 million euros from increased traffic fines.
