Romanian Senate Halves Fines For Unpaid Road Tolls

Senators adopted with 53 votes and four abstentions the draft law approving Government Emergency Ordinance no. 157/2007 amending Government Ordinance no. 15/2002 introducing the toll for the use of Romanian roads.

 

The normative act stipulates fines of RON250 – RON500 for drivers with unpaid road tolls, from the current RON500 -RON1,000.

 

According to another amendment, drivers may no longer pay the fines on the spot, but may pay half the fine within 48 hours.
