If you receive a fine under the car wiper, for example for improper parking, you should carefully read what is written on it. If there is no departure number on the ticket, even if you go to the nearest terminal to pay the fine, there will be no reason for it. So you'll have to wait for your receipt to arrive in the mail, but you'll have already missed the seven-day deadline in which to pay with a discount.
Is there another way?
Since the beginning of August, every traffic police patrol has a POS terminal. If you want to pay the fine, it is very easy. The employee from the "Traffic Police" checks in the tablet for undelivered electronic receipts, as well as unpaid fines.
The driver is given the option to choose to pay all or part of the fines. Otherwise, the employee will explain the technology itself. But in this way, time is saved, and therefore money, because there is an interval in which the fine can be paid with a discount, and every single driver can take advantage of this thing.
If we still receive a letter, what should we do?
From the moment the fine is served, this period starts to run 7 days for ordinary receipts and 14 days for electronic receipts.
So for electronic tickets that are for speeding, there the discount is greater 30%. That is, you pay 70% of the value. With ordinary slips, you pay 80% of the value, explained Commissioner Dimitar Kikiov, the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Sliven to BNT.
Is there a danger of paying twice for the same violation?
"No, because it is immediately reflected in the information system," added Commissioner Kikiov.
Fines imposed by authorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for violations of the Road Traffic Act can also be paid by bank card through POS terminal devices installed in the "Traffic Police" department/sector, in regional offices at the regional directorates of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the border crossing, as well as in patrol cars of the "Road Police" units.
