Getting a ticket, whether for parking or speeding, is never very pleasant. Especially when points are also at stake. And who has never felt the temptation not to pay and act as if nothing happened?

And it seems that very few drivers actually pay what they owe. after receiving the ticket. We explain everything about this case!

Two out of three

A few days ago, AFP announced that ” Economy and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire promised on Thursday, August 24, in Alexa (Haute-Savoie) to “solve the problem of the collection of fines”, as the state collects, he said, only a third of the amount of fixed fines imposed.“. Indeed, it is said that “the state will collect only a third of the sums due to it.” In other words, only every third motorist would really pay his fines, and it’s just very little. But is this really reality? It seems that this is not quite the case…

A little mishmash

In reality, this figure would be a bit of an oversimplification. Really, the vast majority of PV for traffic violations, including speeding tickets sent by speed cameras. Actually, it depends on the type of offenses, and most often “forgotten” are especially those related to the use of drugs. Therefore, it is advisable not to generalize, although the vast majority of motorists pay fines when necessary.
