The Municipality of Athens is expected to send notes to 215,000 vehicle and motorbike owners with outstanding traffic fines. Road traffic fines and violations incurred from 2011 onwards mainly from 2011-2013 that have remained forgotten in dusty draws will not only be demanded but will also include extra penalties for delays as the time frame for their payment has been long overdue.

Noteworthy is the fact that there were 160,000 fines until 2013, however the number of fines did not drop even though the Municipal Police had been abolished after that year.
