From 2023, fines for using the phone while driving will become even more expensive. The fines in the new year will increase with inflation, as usual. This applies not only to calling while driving, but also to other traffic fines. So be even stricter on yourself for adhering to the maximum speed!
How expensive will it be to make phone calls while driving in 2023?
Dilan Yeșilgöz, the Minister of Security and Justice, wants fines to increase by at least 8.6% in 2023. Texting and calling while driving will become €30 more expensive with this price increase! In 2022 the fine for this was €350,-. This will probably be €380,- in 2023. That is a big chunk of money. Cyclists are expected to pay €10,- more, which amounts to a fine of €110,-.
The advantage of these increases? Yes, there is of course a positive side. Calling and texting while driving is very dangerous and results in a lot of accidents. With this price increase, drivers will think 2, 3 or 4 times before deciding to pick up their phone while driving.
What about the other fines?
If it is up to the Ministry, this price increase is not unfair. As long as you follow the rules, you do not have to pay is their statement.
If you drive through a red light, you will probably not pay any €250,- more, but €280,-. Do you want to be rude, or inappropriate? parking in a disabled parking space? Then this could cost you a fine of up to €450,- will cost. In short, it is certainly not worth it. Furthermore, the following fines in 2023 will probably cost the following:
- Not indicating with turn signal? From €100,- to €110,-.
- Not wearing a seat belt? From €150 to €180.
- Driving 14 km too fast outside built-up areas? From €120 to €140
Conclusion, no more calling while driving!
These are the expected price increases for 2023. They have not yet been determined, but they will be soon. At the moment it is still a topic of discussion. For if the message is not yet clear, calling and texting while driving is an absolute no-go. Currently, we are already dealing with extremely high costs in the field of petrol, gas and inflation. Not only fuel, but also our shopping basket is becoming increasingly expensive. So let's start with a first good intention: no fines for you in 2023!
