The Greeks have tightened road checks and massive fines for violations. Foreigners are warned not to attempt to bribe a police officer. The Greek media reported many cases of foreigners trying to bribe police officers due to driving violations, the BNR specifies.
Greek police officers wear cameras on their uniforms, fines are entered electronically and no one will allow themselves to break the law, traffic police officers in tourist areas comment. In this case, the car numbers are removed for at least six months.
Be careful where you park, the police warn. It is very severely punished if you leave your car by the beach and obstruct the passage of tourists or in places intended for cars of disabled people.
When using alcohol or narcotic substances, the penalty is one year of imprisonment if a person's life is endangered.
Routine checks are carried out around the clock.
Overnight in the car is treated as wild camping and the fine is up to 3000 EUR. Using anti-radar costs EUR 2,000.
Checks are carried out indiscriminately on both Greek and foreign registered cars, the traffic police said.
