Europe's Stiffest Driving Fines

Europe’s traffic fines are shockingly steep—especially in the Netherlands, where a phone-in-hand offense costs €440, far outpacing Austria’s €50. Speeding penalties also hit hard: €89 for going 10 km/h over outside cities, compared to Belgium’s €53 or Austria’s €20. These fines aren’t just steep—they’re lucrative: speeding tickets alone generated €460 million last year, while phone fines added €89 million. France and Spain take it further, fining drivers €100 and €200 respectively for wearing headphones. Bottom line: stay focused, stash your phone, or risk a hefty bill across Europe.
