The State Budget proposal for 2024 (OE2024), states that next year public revenue from traffic fines is estimated at 124,815,443 euros.
For this year, the Government estimated to collect around 137 million euros in fines for infractions of the Highway Code.
So they admit it, it's about making money, not about making roads safer!!
And what's this thing with stopping vans and checking the contents, in order to fine? Is this a police state?

Start to fine red light and double parking violations! Easy money for the government.
