Heavy “bells” from 10,000 to 30,000 euros as well as the removal of the driver’s license for 3 years await those found driving vehicles on Greek roads where a declaration has been submitted in immobility. It is also a heavy burden for those who, while their car is idle because it has not passed the MOT or road tax that has not been paid in the last 7 years, it is used normally.
To identify offenders, electronic intersections are used to AADE by obtaining data from highway concessionaires and special mobile devices that scan license plates of vehicles.
Freelancers: 1 in 2 caught in the pinch of imputed income
Penalties for those who drive vehicles that are immobilized or idle are included in the bill of the Ministry of National Economy and Finance that is in the Parliament.
Penalties – penalties
According to the new provisions:
– Immobility. A vehicle submitted with a declaration of immobility is prohibited from circulating for any reason. If it is found in the context of the controls, even when passing or parking in a different place than the one declared in the electronic statement of immobility, the immobility is automatically removed and imposed by the AADE in addition to the traffic fee and the related fine, an administrative fine of 10,000 euros. In the case of return, the administrative fine is tripled, reaching 30,000 euros, while by the decision of the competent body, the driver’s license of the owner or owner of the car is withdrawn for three years. The owner has the right to appeal within 5 working days from the imposition of the fine. The objection is examined by the Authority which imposes the corresponding fine within 30 working days. If the appeal is accepted, the fines will be erased.
– The idleness of the car. New procedures are defined for the decommissioning of vehicles and their removal from vehicle registrations. Vehicles that are not insured, not subject to an MOT and unpaid road tax for them in the last 7 years, are placed in a temporary state of inactivity and their owners are notified so that they can continue to definitive inactivity. of the vehicle and its removal from the registers or if the necessary actions are taken, the vehicle can be re-circulated. It also facilitates the removal of the vehicle of the deceased who may not have transferred the vehicle to the heirs. In the case of using a vehicle that has been permanently inactive or removed, a fine of 10,000 euros will be imposed on the owner, as well as the traffic taxes corresponding to the vehicle for the year of recognition. If the offense is repeated within five years, the fine will be doubled and the driving license of the owner or owner of the vehicle will be revoked for 3 years.
The restoration of a vehicle, which has fallen into a permanent state of inactivity, is possible in exceptional cases, with the issuance of a bill of 150 euros and after a documented application to of the Department of Transport and Communications of the relevant Region or the competent Services of the Hellenic Police, which gives the relevant approval or rejection of the application. Reinstatement includes all taxes, insurance and other obligations related to the vehicle for the year of reinstatement and thereafter.
