In Greece, holidaymakers have to pay more attention to how they behave in road traffic. It is over with the former Laisser-Faire who also loved many tourists. The parliament in Athens must decide a new traffic regulations at the end of the week.
Everyone who is caught with the mobile phone on the wheel must therefore pay 350 euros and specify your or your driver’s license for 30 days. The second time the fine is 1000 euros, the appearance has disappeared for six months. The third time is due to 2000 euros and the driving ban is being expanded to a year.
In the future, the same penalties will apply to motorcyclists without a helmet and also for people who drive without a helmet. According to the Greek traffic association, every fifth person is on the motorcycle without a helmet. The share of the fatally crashed drivers is particularly high.
New speed limits
In narrow streets and streets, the speed will be limited in the future to 30 kilometers per hour, and you can drive 50 kilometers per hour on main roads in the city center. On the other hand, the speed limit is increased on highways: 140 kilometers per hour is permitted there instead of the previous 130. The quantity of the fine depends on how much the limit has been exceeded. If you break across the street at more than 200 kilometers per hour, you must expect a fine of 8,000 euros and four years withdrawal of a driver’s license.
High penalties in particular are also intended for spontaneous street races and aggressiveness in traffic traffic. In the first violation, there should be a fine of 2000 euros and a withdrawal of the one -year driver’s license. The third time it is also 8,000 euros and four years without appearance.
Practical limits of 0.5
Already in Greece it applies that people should not smoke at the wheel in the presence of children under the age of twelve. The alcohol limit is 0.5. If you are caught more alcohol in the blood, you must expect punishments of 1000 euros and a driving ban that can be up to ten years. The background of the new traffic regulations are the large number of accidents in the country.
Tourists and tourists traveling to Greece by car recommend traffic clubs to fabric fabric insurance. About 500,000 of the approximately eight million vehicles may not be insured. The government also wants to combat here. Campers were used by the start of the year. It is forbidden to park the camper for more than 24 hours. There are exceptions for campsites or in the right way designated campsites. 300 euros can be due per person, under certain conditions (the camper or camper is looking for the distance, for example).
