The violations of law on the road result in fines. They are due to the State and must be paid within a certain time.

This is the case for contraventions of the first four classes. These range from simple parking violations to driving while intoxicated through the use of telephones while driving, speeding or failure to give way.

The amount claimed depends on the offense but, in any case, it increases as you wait to pay.

Clearly, if you pay within three days of the offense or within fifteen days after the sending home of the ticket, you pay what is called a fixed fine at reduced rate (EUR 90 in your case).

If you pay within forty-five days, the normal rate will be applied (EUR 135).

Finally, if you miss this deadline, you must pay the increased rate (EUR 375). If you have to pay a fine at a higher rate, you have the option to request from the Treasury a payment extension or a graceful surrender. If the request is accepted, the fee may be reduced by 20%.
