    Croatia traffic fines

    Penalty settlement Croatia

    • Although the police may impose a fine when a traffic violation is detected, you are not obliged to pay the fine on the spot.
    • The ticket must in any case be paid within 8 days after receipt (at bank or post office).
    • Sometimes ‘immediate action’ is taken and someone has to appear in court within a few days, often even the next day. The defendant is entitled to bring a lawyer.

    Driver’s license points

    • Croatia has a penalty point system that also applies to foreigners.
    • If a driver of a motor vehicle gets 9 points in 2 years time, his driving license is taken for 9 to 12 months. For foreigners it is registered in the driving license.
    • If a driving disqualification or driving ban is imposed on the basis of this system, this only applies in Croatia.

    Deposit

    • By way of a deposit, the police can take the passport of the offender until the fine has been paid.

    Arrest

    • In the event of an arrest, for example after a traffic accident, your embassy can provide information about the administration of justice and further proceedings.

    Fines / Penalty rates

    These amounts are indications and may in practice be higher or lower, depending on the circumstances in which the traffic violation was committed.
