The Netherlands has a strict and efficient system for traffic fines. As of 2025, most traffic violations – from speeding to running red lights – are handled as administrative fines rather than criminal offenses. These fines are standardized and collected by the Central Fine Collection Agency (Centraal Justitieel Incassobureau, CJIB). Below, we explain how the Dutch traffic fine system works, the penalties for common violations (with a detailed speeding fines table), how to pay or contest a fine (whether you’re a resident or a tourist), recent updates to the system, and practical tips to avoid getting fined on Dutch roads.
Overview of the Dutch Traffic Fine System
In the Netherlands, minor traffic offenses (such as most speeding violations, red-light offenses, and other common infractions) are dealt with under administrative law – often called the Mulder law procedure. This means you typically receive a fine (penalty notice) by mail and do not have to appear in court for these minor violations. The CJIB (operating under the Ministry of Justice and Security) issues the fine notice, which details the offense and the amount due. You can recognize such a notice by a large letter “M” in the top right corner, indicating a Mulder case.
Serious traffic offenses, however, like very excessive speeding or dangerous driving resulting in injury, are handled under criminal law. These may lead to a court summons, higher fines, a driving ban, or even imprisonment in extreme cases. For example, speeding more than 30 km/h over the limit in town (or 40 km/h on a highway) is no longer a standard administrative fine – it triggers a prosecutor’s review (OM-beschikking) and potential criminal penalties, including license suspension. Driving under influence above certain blood alcohol levels can likewise lead to criminal charges beyond just a fine.
Who is responsible for the fine? Dutch law uses “registration number liability,” meaning the vehicle’s owner is liable for the fine, even if someone else was drivingl. If you weren’t driving, you may ask the actual driver to pay you back, but the law holds the owner accountable by default. (Rental companies, for instance, will transfer the fine to the renter’s name via an appeal, so that the renter ultimately receives and must pay the fine)
How are fine amounts set? Traffic fine amounts in the Netherlands are set nationally and updated regularly (usually indexed for inflation each year). Fines are higher for more dangerous violations or greater degrees of offense (e.g. a higher speed excess means a higher fine). All fines also incur a mandatory administrative fee of €9 on top of the penalty amount. The Public Prosecution Service publishes a schedule of standard fines for each type of violation (the “Boetebase”), and police and cameras issue tickets according to this schedule.
Finally, it’s worth noting that the Netherlands has an extensive automated enforcement network – including speed cameras, average speed checks (trajectcontrole), red-light cameras, and even special cameras to detect mobile phone use. Traffic laws are strictly enforced, so understanding the rules and fines is important for both residents and visitors.
Speeding Violations and Fines in 2025
Speeding is one of the most common traffic violations in the Netherlands, and fines increase progressively with the speed over the limit. How much you pay depends on how many km/h over the speed limit you were driving and where the violation occurred. Fines for speeding are higher in urban areas (within built-up areas) and somewhat lower on rural roads or highways for the same amount of overspeedl. The rationale is that speeding in built-up areas (where pedestrians and cyclists are around) is more dangerous, hence penalized more severely.
For example, exceeding the limit by 10 km/h will cost about €93 in a city (urban area), €87 on a rural road, and €81 on a highway in 2025. The table below outlines the official 2025 fine amounts for various speeding ranges, excluding the €9 administration fee:
| Speed over limit | Urban (built-up area) | Rural road (outside built-up) | Highway |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 km/h | €45 | €40 | €33 |
| 10 km/h | €93 | €87 | €81 |
| 15 km/h | €175 | €168 | €155 |
| 20 km/h | €248 | €237 | €223 |
| 25 km/h | €336 | €317 | €296 |
| 30 km/h | €435 | €413 | €380 |
(Source: Dutch Ministry of Justice/CJIB fine table for 2025.)
As shown above, even a small amount over the limit will result in a fine. Importantly, if you exceed the speed limit by more than 30 km/h in urban/rural areas or more than 40 km/h on a highway, you will not get a simple payable fine – instead, you’ll receive a notice of a prosecutor’s determination (OM-beschikking). In such cases, the authorities may impose a higher fine or additional penalties (such as a court summons, a driving suspension, or seizure of your driver’s license due to reckless speeding). In other words, 30 km/h (or 40 on highways) over the limit is treated as a serious offense rather than a minor infraction.
Special zones: Note that higher fines apply if you speed in certain zones. Speeding in a road work zone or a residential 30 km/h zone (woonerf) carries even steeper fines than those in the table above, due to the increased danger in those areas. Always heed posted speed limits; the Netherlands often uses electronic signs and road markings to indicate speed limits, and these can change (for example, many highways have a 100 km/h limit during the day, and a higher limit of 120 or 130 km/h at night). When in doubt, assume 50 km/h is the limit in built-up areas and 80 km/h outside built-up areas unless signs indicate otherwise.
Fines for Common Traffic Violations in the Netherlands
Beyond speeding, Dutch traffic law penalizes a range of other violations with set fines. Here’s a breakdown of some common violations and their fine amounts in 2025, along with notes on severity:
Running Red Lights
Running a red traffic light is taken very seriously. The fine for running a red light is €310 in 2025. Red-light cameras monitor many intersections, so even if police are not present, a camera might capture your license plate if you enter on red. (Note: There is no legal right-turn-on-red in the Netherlands unless a green arrow or sign explicitly allows it, so treating a red light as a stop sign to turn right – as done in some countries – will be treated as running the red light.) Always stop for yellow if you can safely do so; if the light turns red as you enter the intersection, you risk a fine.
Mobile Phone Use While Driving
Using a phone behind the wheel can result in one of the heftiest fines for a moving violation. Holding or operating a mobile phone (or any electronic device) while driving is forbidden. In 2025, the fine for driving while using a handheld phone is €430. This applies not only to making calls, but also texting, using apps, or even holding the phone to check GPS. The rule is essentially hands-free only – you may use a phone only if it’s mounted or via a hands-free system, without holding it. Police now use special cameras (and even undercover officers) to catch drivers with a phone in hand, reflecting a strict stance on distracted driving. The high fine amount (which was increased by €10 in 2025) underscores how dangerous this behavior is considered.
(Note: The phone ban also extends to cyclists – even riding a bicycle while holding a phone is illegal in the Netherlands, although the fine for cyclists is lower. Tourists on bikes should be aware of this rule to avoid a ticket.)
Seat Belt and Child Seat Violations
Seat belts are absolutely mandatory for all occupants of a vehicle. The fine for not wearing a seat belt is €190 per person in 2025. This fine applies to the driver and passengers individually, so multiple people not buckled means multiple fines. Drivers are responsible for ensuring passengers under 18 are buckled up.
There are additional rules for children: kids under 135 cm in height (roughly under age 12) must be in an appropriate child safety seat or booster. If you transport a young child without a proper car seat or booster, you could face a €280 fine. Always secure children appropriately; not only is it required by law, it’s vital for safety.
Wearing your seat belt is one of the simplest ways to avoid a fine – the rule is easy: everyone in the car must wear a seat belt, front and back seats. If you’re a tourist in a taxi or rideshare, note that you also are required to buckle up (and could be fined if caught without a belt, though typically enforcement targets drivers).
Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Drunk driving penalties in the Netherlands can involve fines, license suspension, or worse. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.5‰ (0.5 grams of alcohol per liter of blood) for drivers with a license more than 5 years old. For novice drivers (licensed under 5 years) and professional drivers, a stricter limit of 0.2‰ applies. In practice, 0.5‰ is roughly equal to about two standard drinks – but even that can be too high, so it’s safest not to drive after any alcohol.
If you are caught driving over the limit, the fine depends on your BAC. For example, in 2025 the fines were approximately:
- 0.54–0.80‰ BAC: €300 fine
- 0.81–1.00‰ BAC: €425 fine
- 1.01–1.15‰ BAC: €550 fine
- 1.16–1.30‰ BAC: €650 fine
These are guideline amounts for first offenses. If your alcohol level is very high or if you repeatedly offend, the penalties escalate. Beyond about 1.3‰ BAC, you will likely face criminal charges – your license can be confiscated on the spot and you may be summoned to court. Refusing to take a breathalyzer test is also an offense and carries its own heavy penalties.
In short, do not drink and drive. The Netherlands has frequent alcohol checkpoints and the threshold for what counts as “drunk driving” is low compared to some countries. Even a single strong beer could put a novice driver over the 0.2‰ limit. The safest choice is to have zero drinks if you’ll be driving.
Other Notable Violations and Fines
- Tailgating (Driving too close) – The Dutch police also crack down on tailgating (insufficient distance to the vehicle in front, known as bumperkleven). The fine can range from €380 up to €900 depending on how dangerously close you were and at what speed. This is one of the highest traffic fines, reflecting the serious risk of causing a collision. Always maintain a safe following distance (at least 2 seconds rule).
- Failure to give right-of-way – For instance, not giving priority to traffic from the right at an uncontrolled intersection, or not yielding to pedestrians on a zebra crossing, carries a €310 fine (comparable to running a red light). Right-of-way rules are strictly enforced to protect vulnerable road users.
- Improper overtaking or lane use – Overtaking where it’s not allowed, such as using the right lane to pass another vehicle on a highway (rechts inhalen), is fined around €310. Similarly, unnecessarily hogging the left lane on a highway (failing to keep right except to pass) can cost you €280. The expectation on Dutch roads is that you keep to the right lane and use the left lane only for overtaking – lingering in the left lane without reason is an offense.
- Illegal parking – Parking fines can vary, but common cases include €120 for parking where it’s not allowed. Parking in a disabled spot without a permit is very costly (about €380 fine). Also, if you don’t pay at a metered parking area, municipalities can issue fines or penalties that differ by city. Always observe parking signs and rules.
- Vehicle equipment and other rules – Driving with defective lights (e.g. a broken tail light) can result in a €190 fine. Not using your indicators (turn signals) when required (for example, failing to signal a turn) is €120 Even unnecessarily using your horn (onnodig toeteren) can be fined (~€310). In summary, many seemingly small rules have fines attached – the Dutch approach is that following all traffic rules contributes to overall safety.
As these examples show, Dutch traffic fines in 2025 are quite steep. The government intentionally sets fines high to deter dangerous behavior and improve road safety. Many fines saw roughly a €10 increase in 2025 compared to the previous year as an inflation correction. Always stay informed of the rules to avoid an unwelcome surprise in the mail from the CJIB.
Paying Traffic Fines in the Netherlands (Residents and Tourists)
If you receive a Dutch traffic fine, it will be outlined in a letter from the CJIB. Paying the fine on time is very important to avoid extra costs. Here’s what to know about payment:
- Payment deadline: The fine notice will specify an amount and a due date. Usually, you must pay within 8 weeks of the date on the fine letter. If you don’t pay by the deadline, the CJIB will send reminders (aanmaningen) and add substantial surcharges. The first reminder increases the amount by 50%, and the second (final) reminder doubles the original fine (100% increase, meaning the fine becomes triple the initial amount). For example, a €50 fine would become €75 after the first reminder and €150 after the second. These late-payment penalties can quickly make a small fine very expensive, so prompt payment is wise.
- How to pay (for residents): If you live in the Netherlands and have a DigiD (digital ID), you can view and pay your traffic fines online via the CJIB’s self-service portal. The portal shows the details of the offense and even the evidence photo (for instance, the speed camera or red-light camera photo) so you can verify it. Payment can typically be made through Dutch online banking (iDEAL) or by scheduling a direct debit. In fact, the CJIB is authorized to directly debit fines from Dutch bank accounts in some cases (up to €500 at a time), though in practice this usually happens if you ignore payment and the case escalates.
- How to pay (for non-residents/tourists): Tourists or foreign drivers can also pay easily from abroad. The CJIB letter includes an IBAN bank account number for transfers and a unique payment reference (CJIB number). You can pay by international bank transfer – be sure to include the CJIB reference number so they know the payment is for your case. Alternatively, the CJIB letter has a QR code that lets you pay by credit card online. Many foreign drivers find it simplest to scan the QR code on the fine letter, which directs to a secure payment page (available in multiple languages) to pay with a credit or debit card. The CJIB explicitly does not accept payment by check or cash, so electronic payment is the way to go.
- If you’re unsure or need help: The CJIB has an English-language website (sometimes referred to as “CJIB Bluebear”) with instructions for international payments. They also provide contact information if you have questions about the amount or difficulty paying. Importantly, always pay the full amount including the €9 admin fee – the fine letter’s stated total includes this fee. Underpaying by even a small amount could leave the fine marked as unpaid.
- Installment plans: If the fine is large (above €75) and you are a resident facing financial difficulty, the CJIB allows you to request a payment plan to pay in installments. This usually applies to residents; non-residents are generally expected to pay in one go.
- Enforcement for non-payment: What if you ignore a Dutch traffic fine as a foreigner? Thanks to the EU Cross-Border Enforcement Directive, if you live in an EU country, the Netherlands can transfer the fine to your home country for enforcement. Many European countries cooperate to ensure traffic fines are paid across borders. If you’re outside the EU or the fine can’t be enforced abroad, your name may be entered into a register in the Netherlands. This means that if you re-enter the Netherlands and get stopped by police or customs (for example, at a border check or traffic stop), they may see the unpaid fine in the system. You could then be required to pay on the spot, and if you refuse, your vehicle can be impounded. In short, an outstanding fine won’t simply disappear – it can lead to bigger problems later, especially if you plan to visit the Netherlands again.
Bottom line: Once you receive a Dutch traffic ticket, take care of it promptly. The system is efficient at tracking fines, and penalties for late payment are severe. The good news is the process to pay is straightforward, even from abroad, using online methods.
Contesting a Traffic Fine (How to Appeal)
If you believe a traffic fine is unjustified – perhaps you weren’t the driver, or you dispute that a violation occurred – you do have the right to contest (appeal) the fine. The Netherlands provides a legal avenue to challenge fines, but there are strict procedures and deadlines:
- Deadline to appeal: You must file your objection (bezwaar) within 6 weeks of the date on the fine notice. This deadline is crucial; if you miss the 6-week window, the fine becomes definitive. The fine letter’s date counts as the start, so act quickly if you plan to appeal.
- Who to appeal to: For a Mulder law traffic fine, you send your appeal to the Public Prosecution Service’s Traffic Department (CVOM), not to the CJIB. Essentially, a prosecutor will review your case. The CJIB is just the collector and cannot void a fine; only the prosecutor or a judge can decide on appeals.
- How to appeal: The fine notice will usually include instructions (in Dutch) for filing an appeal. If you’re a Dutch resident, you can appeal online by logging in with DigiD on the OM’s digital service (this is a newer development). Otherwise, the typical method is to send a letter to the CVOM (Central Processing Office for Traffic Fines) in Utrecht. The letter should include your personal details (name, address, date of birth) and the details of the fine (the CJIB number, date, and offense) and, importantly, the reasons you contest the fine. Explain clearly why you believe the fine is incorrect – for example, if signage was missing or you have evidence you did not commit the offense. It’s advisable to include any supporting evidence (photos, witness statements, etc.) if available.
- No need to pay during appeal: If you file a timely appeal, you do not have to pay the fine while the appeal is being processed. The enforcement is put on hold. (Do note, if you already started a payment plan, you might need to pause it.) Only once a decision is made on your appeal will you either be cleared of the fine or asked to pay (sometimes with a new deadline).
- Owner vs. driver issues: As mentioned, saying “I wasn’t the one driving” is not in itself grounds to cancel a fine, due to the owner liability rule. If someone else was driving your car, you as the owner are still legally on the hook. You can, however, authorize the actual driver to appeal on your behalf. In such cases, you’d provide a signed authorization form with your appeal, allowing the driver to handle the proceedings. If you rented a car and the rental company received the fine first, they typically appeal to transfer liability to you, after which you’ll get a new fine in your own name. Only after you receive the fine in your name can you appeal it yourself (if you choose).
- After you appeal: The CVOM will send a confirmation that your objection was received (sometimes via their digital portal). They may take some time – it can be up to 16 weeks or more – to make a decision. In some cases, they might request additional information from you. Eventually, you will get a letter with the decision. The decision could be: the fine is cancelled (you win the appeal), the fine is reduced or modified, or the fine is upheld (appeal denied). If your appeal is denied, the letter will give a new deadline by which you must pay the fine. If you still disagree at that point, you have a further option to take the matter to a judge (kantonrechter) for a formal court appeal, but this involves court fees and a longer process.
Appealing a traffic fine is certainly possible and sometimes successful – for example, if a speed limit sign was not clearly visible due to roadwork, an appeal could be granted. Just be sure your appeal is well-founded and submitted on time. For most travelers, unless you have clear evidence of a mistake, it may be easier to pay the fine. But the right to appeal is there as a safeguard, ensuring the system remains fair.
Recent Updates to the Traffic Fine System (as of 2025)
Each year, there are some changes to traffic regulations or fine amounts in the Netherlands. Here are a few recent updates and trends up to 2025:
- Fines increased in 2025: Many standard traffic fines saw a slight increase (roughly €10 higher) starting 1 January 2025 This annual adjustment is done to account for inflation and to maintain the deterrent effect of fines. For instance, the fine for using a phone went from €420 in 2024 to €430 in 2025, and running a red light went from €300 to €310. The €9 administration fee has remained the same in 2025. The Dutch government had proposed these increases in late 2024, and they were confirmed despite some public debate about high fines.
- Policy debate on fines: There has been discussion in the Netherlands about whether traffic fines have become too high. Some consumer organizations and even the Public Prosecution Service noted that minor traffic fines have risen over 150% since 1999, which is much faster than for more serious offenses. At one point, parliament considered reducing fines by 30% over concerns they were disproportionate. However, as of 2025 no such reduction has occurred; instead fines were raised to help cover government budget gaps and encourage road safety compliance.
- Automated enforcement and new cameras: The Dutch authorities are continually expanding automated enforcement. In 2024–2025, there was a significant update of speed cameras and average speed check systems (some were temporarily offline for upgrades). By 2025, many of these systems were back and improved. The government also began rolling out so-called “focus flash” cameras that can specifically detect drivers using mobile phones or not wearing a seat belt. These AI-assisted cameras photograph through windshields to catch unsafe behaviors. This technology was tested in recent years and is being expanded, meaning you could get a phone-use fine without a police officer ever spotting you in person.
- Highway speed limit change: While not a change in 2025 itself, it’s worth noting a relatively recent policy (introduced in March 2020) that affects many drivers: the daytime highway speed limit is 100 km/h nationwide (between 6am and 7pm). After 7pm, some highway sections allow 120 or 130 km/h (as indicated by signs). This was a measure to reduce emissions, but it remains in effect as of 2025. Tourists who were used to 130 km/h all day should be aware – exceeding 100 km/h during the day on a Dutch snelweg will trigger speeding fines via the automated trajectcontrole systems that monitor average speed over long stretches.
- New road safety measures: The Dutch government continues to introduce measures to improve road safety. For example, there is increased focus on tackling driving under the influence of drugs, with drug saliva tests being more widely used at traffic stops. Penalties for drugged driving mirror those for alcohol. Additionally, educational programs and courses (such as EMA – Educational Measure Alcohol, and EMG – Educational Measure Behavior for repeat speeders) are imposed more often on traffic violators to address dangerous habits in addition to fines.
In summary, the trend in the Netherlands is towards strict enforcement and use of technology, with consistently high fines to discourage violations. Anyone driving in the Netherlands in 2025 should be prepared to follow the rules closely – enforcement is only getting tougher with each passing year, especially for speed and distraction.
Tips for Avoiding Traffic Fines in the Netherlands
Driving in a new country can be challenging. Here are some practical tips to help you avoid traffic fines in the Netherlands, particularly useful for tourists and newcomers:
- Know the Speed Limits: Default speed limits are 50 km/h in built-up areas, 80 km/h on rural roads, and 100 km/h on highways (during daytime). Pay attention to posted signs, as limits can change frequently (e.g. 30 km/h zones in residential areas, 70 km/h on some rural roads, or 120/130 km/h on certain highway stretches at night). The Netherlands uses many speed cameras and average speed checks, so maintain the limit for the entire road section, not just near a camera. Remember, only a few km/h over the limit can result in a fine after the small tolerance deduction.
- Don’t Push Yellow Lights: Traffic lights do not have a “right on red” rule and turning on red is illegal unless explicitly indicated. Always stop for red lights. Even for amber/yellow, it’s safer to stop if you can – running a late yellow that turns red in the intersection can still get you fined by a red-light camera. The fine (around €310) isn’t worth the few seconds saved.
- Hands-Free Driving Only: If you need to use your phone for navigation or calls, set it up before driving. Use a dashboard or windshield mount for your phone and enable voice commands or hands-free mode. Never hold the phone in your hand while driving – not even at a stop light. Police and cameras are on the lookout for this, and it’s an expensive mistake (€430). If you absolutely must use your phone in an emergency, pull over to a safe/legal parking spot first.
- Wear Your Seat Belt (Everyone): Always buckle up as soon as you get in the car. Ensure your passengers do the same. It’s mandatory for drivers and all passengers to wear seat belts. If traveling with children, make sure to have proper child seats or boosters for them. Car rental agencies in the Netherlands can provide child seats if you request them. A quick seat belt check can save you €190 per person in fines – and more importantly, it could save lives.
- Observe Right-of-Way Rules: At intersections without traffic lights or signs (common in neighborhoods), traffic coming from your right has priority. Failing to yield right-of-way can not only cause accidents but also lead to a hefty fine (over €300). Similarly, always yield to pedestrians on zebra crossings and to cyclists when turning – cyclists going straight in bike lanes often have priority when you are turning across their path. Being courteous and cautious will help you avoid violations.
- Keep Right on Highways: On multi-lane highways (and other roads), the rule is to keep to the right lane unless overtaking. Don’t cruise in the left lane or middle lane when the right lane is free – this is illegal. After passing someone, move back to the right. This habit will not only keep you from getting a €280 fine for unnecessary left-lane driving, but it’s also safer and appreciated by Dutch drivers.
- Maintain Safe Distance: Always leave sufficient space between you and the vehicle ahead. A good guideline is the two-second rule (at least 2 seconds gap in good conditions, more if rain). Tailgating is taken seriously; unmarked police cars patrol for tailgaters, and there are even automated distance cameras in some areas. Avoid a potential €380+ fine by staying back and relaxed – it also gives you more time to react.
- No Drinking and Driving: If you plan to enjoy Dutch beers or wines, plan an alternative way home. Use public transport, a taxi, or designate a sober driver. The alcohol limit is low (0.5 ‰) and strictly enforced. Dutch police frequently set up random alcohol checkpoints, especially at night and on weekends. Even moderate drinking could put you over the limit, so it’s safest to abstain entirely when driving. The financial and legal consequences of a DUI in the Netherlands are severe.
- Follow Parking Rules: Parking regulations are well-marked by signs and road markings. Only park where it’s allowed, and if payment is required (park meter or mobile parking app), be sure to pay for the correct duration. Do not park in spots reserved for permit holders or disabled persons unless you have the proper permit – fines and towing can result. Illegally parked cars can also be clamped or towed in some cities. Use designated parking areas, and when in doubt, find a parking garage. It’s cheaper than a fine.
- Watch for Special Zones: Be mindful of environmental zones (marked as “Milieuzone”) in some city centers – if you drive an older polluting vehicle where it’s not allowed, you can get a fine via license plate cameras. Also watch for bus lanes, tram lanes, and bicycle lanes – driving or stopping in these when not permitted will attract fines. Stick to normal car lanes only.
- Plan Your Route and Stay Calm: Dutch roads can be busy and the signage might be unfamiliar. It helps to plan your route with a GPS or map ahead of time so you aren’t making last-second maneuvers. If you miss a turn or exit, don’t panic – carry on to the next opportunity to safely correct course. Sudden swerves or stops can lead to violations or accidents. Driving calmly and attentively will reduce the chance of breaking a rule unintentionally.
By following these tips, you’ll not only avoid fines but also have a safer and more enjoyable driving experience in the Netherlands. The Dutch road system is very orderly and well-regulated; when you adhere to the rules, you’ll find driving is generally smooth and straightforward.
Conclusion
Understanding how traffic fines work in the Netherlands is essential for anyone behind the wheel, whether you live there or are just visiting. The Dutch system in 2025 is characterized by clear rules, automated enforcement, and significant penalties for those who break the rules. Always remember that fines can add up quickly – both in amount and in number if you’re not careful. However, these rules and fines exist to keep roads safe for everyone.
If you do receive a fine, now you know what to expect: the amount will be based on the offense and severity, you’ll have to pay the CJIB by the deadline (or face higher fees), and you have options to pay online or appeal if you believe there’s a mistake. By staying informed of recent changes (like updated fines and speed limits) and following the practical tips above, you can minimize your risk of infractions.
Safe travels, and rij veilig (drive safely)! Following the traffic laws in the Netherlands will not only save you money but also help ensure a safe journey for you and others on the road. Enjoy the ride without worrying about a ticket in the mail.
