Short Summary: Significant unpaid traffic fines by Russian and Belarusian drivers on Latvian roads, highlighting gaps in enforcement at borders.
The post discusses the issue of unpaid traffic fines by vehicles from non-EU countries, particularly from Russia and Belarus, on Latvian roads. It highlights the introduction of a new law in Latvia as of February 15, 2024, that allows free passage but points out the problem that fines are not enforced. Statistics mention unpaid fines totaling up to 10 million euros, and about 40,000 recorded violations. The poster urges installing payment terminals at police checkpoints and syncing fines in a common database to ensure they are paid before vehicles leave Latvia.
