Vehicle owners in Greece, who have failed to insure their vehicles or have not submitted them to mandatory technical inspections, will face fines ranging from 250 to 1,000 euros by the end of October.
The General Secretariat of Information Systems and Digital Governance is set to conduct the first cross-check of data to identify vehicles operating without insurance or those that have not undergone a technical inspection.
Those caught in the digital trap will be required to pay the stipulated fines. In cases of non-compliance they will face a doubling of the fines and the removal of their vehicle’s license plates and registration.
Electronic checks will be conducted every six months and violators will be faced with fines ranging from 1,000 euros for large vehicles such as buses and trucks, up to 500 euros for private cars and other vehicles and 250 euros for motorcycles.
In addition, vehicles with overdue road taxes will incur fines equal to the amount of unpaid fees plus the annual tax amount. Vehicles that have not passed technical inspections will face an additional 400 euros fine.
In cases of removed license plates and vehicle’s registration, owners are required to submit proof of valid insurance and certification of technical inspection or a clearance certificate for unpaid fees, along with proof of payment of the fine, in order for the license plates to be returned.
If a vehicle owner fails to comply within three months of receiving a fine, a mandatory follow-up electronic check is conducted.
If the violation persists, the vehicle’s registration and license plates will be confiscated with an administrative order sent to the local police who are responsible for seizing the vehicle’s registration documents and plates, and delivering them to the regional Department of Transport.
