“It is good that the minister is working to cancel these unjust fines”, says Flemish Member of Parliament Sofie Mertens (CD&V), who recently requested figures on late inspections from the Department for Mobility and Public Works. These figures show that a total of 2,115,970 passenger cars were inspected in 2022, of which 477,820 were inspected late.
Of the drivers who presented their car too late, 317,635 did so within one month after the inspection certificate expired (66.5 percent). In the first month, the fine for such a late offer is now 9.70 euros. In 2022, this amounted to a total of 3,081,059.50 euros in fines.
“The problem is getting bigger. For example, we note that in 2022 there will be an increase of no less than 63 percent compared to 2019 for drivers who presented themselves less than one month late for the inspection,” said Mertens.
