5 countries with strict traffic rules and fines that I did not know

Since March 1, 2025, India has made a great change in its traffic rules, with fines for rapes that increase up to 10 times. The government is taking the road safety seriously, with some crimes that now carry strong fines and even time in jail for repeat offenders. For example, being caught driving drunk could cost 10,000 rupees and even take it to jail for six months, compared to the old fine of only 1,000 rupees. There are also larger fines for things like not wearing a helmet, wearing your phone while driving or not having the right documents.

So, as India increases its road safety game, let’s take a look at five countries with some of the strictest traffic fines that you probably did not know.
