Slovenia has been revamping its traffic laws and that means brutal penalties are on the way in 2005. Speeding, for one thing, will be costly.

In residential areas, the current speed limit is 50 km/h. If you’ve ever driven through Slovenia, you know that people pretty much ignore that number. But next year, the gig is up. A pleasant 61 km/h drive through town may earn you a 30.000-tolar (125 euro) ticket. If you drive 80 km/h, it’s hammertime: a 120.000 tolar (500 euro) ticket, plus you won’t be sitting behind the wheel for a while.

There will also be zero tolerance when it comes to drinking and driving. Even if your blood alcohol level is effectively zero, there’s still a chance you’ll pay a fine and get 3 points on your driver’s license.

I don’t know what they’d do to this guy, but I’m guessing it would be harsh. Here are some other traffic violations and their penalties. For perspective, I also included how much the fine is as a percentage of the average monthly wage in Slovenia.

Traffic Violations in Slovenia
Violation Penalty (SIT) Penalty (Euros) % of monthly wage
Exiting Roundabout Incorrectly 20.000 83 7%
Using a Radar Detector 120.000 500 44%
Abandoning your car w/o Locking 10.000 41 4%
Bad Tires 100.000 416 37%
Radio Too Loud 20.000 83 7%
Disobeying Police 40.000-120.000 166-500 14-44%
