Violating the road code from 1 January could cost more and more. Speeding, by now the fine most contested for Italian motorists, could reach 203 euros if you drive up to 10 km/h over the speed limit (the minimum in this case would rise from 42 to around 50 euros), rise to 800 euros if you exceed the speed limit from 40 to 60 km/k, fly to 2,300 euros from 40 and 60 kilometres and skyrocket to 4,000 euros over 60 km/k.
Not only that. The other big fine sanctioned in Italy and in big cities is that for wild parking. In this case too, the high incoming fines could raise the penalties to 194 as a minimum up to 776 for the most serious car parking bans, while for mopeds they would range from a minimum of 98 to a maximum of 385 euro
And running a red light could really no longer be worth it, as the fine could be as high as EUR 200 (EUR 195 to be exact). This is the practical translation of the risk of a sting on undisciplined drivers for traffic violations, which could increase by an estimated 17.6 per cent from 2025.
If the government does not intervene with the budget law, the sting on traffic fines s will have been served, as the National Consumers' Union recalled in a note in recent days.
Four-year inflation up 17.6%
A de facto sting announced. In 2022, the Government with the Budget Law of 2023 (Article 1, Paragraph 497, Law No. 197 of 29 December 2022), in consideration of the exceptional post-pandemic economic situation for the years 2023 and 2024, had only suspended the two-yearly update of the administrative fines expressly provided for in Article 195 of the Highway Code (Legislative Decree No. 285 of 30 April 1992).
