Optional informal oral reproof for offences reintroduced

On January 1, 2019, an amendment to the Act on Offences and to the Road Traffic Act came into force, which aims to eliminate unnecessary administrative burdens in dealing with petty offences, i.e. those associated with minimum social harm.

Before its entry into force, it was not clear whether or not petty driving offences could be solved informally, which resulted in minimal yet formal fines. A simple update to a provision of the Road Traffic Act now explicitly allows to deal with motoring offences informally - by oral reproof.
