Traffic Police collects BGN 40 mln in fines for 2010

"Revenues from fines paid last year stand at BGN 40 mln," said Alexi Stratiev, Chief of Traffic Police Department within the Ministry of Interior. He added that these were about 52% of the total amount of penalties which were expected to reach BGN 70 mln. In 2010, the control authorities imposed a total of 15,000 fines on drivers of vehicles without vignettes, including cars and trucks. The Ministry of Interior has no accurate data on the total amount of fines because such calculations were not needed and the size of the sanctions was different.

National Road Infrastructure Agency (RIA) officials reported that last year revenues from vignettes stood at BGN 194 mln.

"This year, penalties will not be imposed for evading the entrance of the vehicle registration number in the yearly vignette stickers," stated definitively Alexander Koserkov, Head of Road Taxes and Special Roads Use Permits Direction within the RIA. He explained that drivers, who buy weekly or monthly stickers, will be fined for this violation but after the amendments to the Road Traffic Act come into effect.
