300% Increase in Traffic Violation Fines
Amid serious livelihood challenges for citizens in Iran, the deputy head of the traffic police also announced a 200 to 300 percent increase in traffic violation fines.
Teymour Hosseini stated that the traffic police’s proposal for increasing fines includes violations that cause accidents, such as speeding, illegal overtaking, crossing the center line, zigzag driving, driving under the influence, and other dangerous actions that lead to accidents.
According to this police official, for each of these violations and others like running a red light, an amount higher than one million tomans has been set to act as a deterrent.
In response to the question of whether the increase in traffic fines would harm household budgets, he said that traffic fines are not part of household budgets for their increase to cause harm.
Iran has one of the highest rates of death due to road accidents in the world.
