EXCLUSIVE. Sectional checks of cities and municipalities under fire: “Collecting fines is more important than road safety”

The system of speed checks in cities and municipalities, in which speeding drivers are punished with GAS fines, is under fire. After all, the judiciary is not aware of those ‘limited’ speed violations, and that is not possible, according to traffic institute Vias. “You can be flashed every week at 52 kilometers per hour in a zone 30 and pay your fine every time. But if one day you end up before a police judge after another infringement, then he will not know.” And then there is also the arbitrariness: you get a warning in one municipality and a fine in another.
