Drivers who have not paid a traffic violation fine on time may face more serious problems. The amount collected can increase, and enforcement officers have the right to block accounts and place a lien on the vehicle.
Part of the fines for traffic violations are issued after automated camera surveillance. You can check the ruling information in the Diia app, the driver’s electronic cabinet, or by postal notification.
If a driver ignores the fine or does not notice the notification, after the voluntary payment period ends, the case may be transferred to the State Enforcement Service.
The law provides 15 days for voluntary payment of the fine from the moment the ruling is served. If this is not done, the amount of the collection can be increased.
After the case is transferred to the enforcement officers, coercive measures may be applied. In particular, a lien on the driver’s bank funds can be imposed.
In that case, money can be automatically debited, and the account holder may face problems conducting financial transactions.
In addition to money, the debtor’s property may be seized. Among other things, enforcement officers have the right to restrict the ability to dispose of the vehicle.
Sometimes the owner learns about the car’s seizure only when attempting to sell it or perform registration actions.
Separately, it is worth paying attention to fines from cameras with automatic recording. If another person was at the wheel at the time of the violation, the owner of the car can challenge the ruling.
To do this, it must be proven that someone other than the owner was driving the car. Such evidence may include documents, a power of attorney, or testimony.
To avoid problems, drivers are advised to regularly check for fines and not postpone payment. After paying, it is worth keeping the receipt, especially if the case may have already been referred to the enforcement service.
If the driver does not agree with the fine, the issue should be resolved through the prescribed appeals process, not simply ignored.
