Traffic fines: speeding, driving without inspection and other violations 2026
Traffic rule fines are penalties for violations while driving or non-compliance with traffic regulations. These fines vary according to the nature, severity of the violation, and local or national legal provisions. Adhering to traffic regulations helps avoid fines and ensures the safety of yourself and other road users.
Let's review the most common and potential fines for speeding, driving without a technical inspection, intoxication, and other violations.

Many drivers only think about traffic fines after receiving a notice of an offence. Yet even a seemingly minor violation can cost both money and the right to drive.
Traffic penalties depend on the offence, its circumstances and the driver's status. Exceeding the limit by up to 10 km/h carries a warning, driving without a valid mandatory vehicle inspection carries a EUR 50-100 fine, and driving with an alcohol level of 0.41-1.5‰ carries a EUR 800-1100 fine and restrictions on the right to drive.
This article provides 2026 traffic fine tables, explains driving bans and vehicle confiscation, and shows how to check and pay a fine.
The tables show statutory penalty ranges under Lithuanian law unless another country is specified. The actual penalty depends on the circumstances. ANK means Lithuania's Code of Administrative Offences; BK means Lithuania's Criminal Code. Offence descriptions are abbreviated, with links to the legislation.
Speeding fines in Lithuania
The fine depends on how far the speed limit is exceeded. Some offences also carry a mandatory driving ban.
Exceeding the limit by up to 10 km/h - a warning.
Exceeding the limit by more than 10 and up to 20 km/h - EUR 12-30.
Exceeding the limit by more than 20 and up to 30 km/h - EUR 30-90.
Exceeding the limit by more than 30 and up to 40 km/h - EUR 120-170.
Exceeding the limit by more than 40 and up to 50 km/h - EUR 170-230.
Exceeding the limit by more than 50 km/h - EUR 450-550 and a 1-6 month driving ban, except for the groups below, which face longer bans.
The following mandatory bans apply to novice drivers and drivers of vehicles with a maximum permissible mass over 3.5 t or more than 9 seats:
More than 30 and up to 40 km/h over the limit - 3-6 months and a EUR 120-170 fine.
More than 40 and up to 50 km/h over the limit - 6-12 months and a EUR 170-230 fine.
More than 50 km/h over the limit - 12-18 months and a EUR 450-550 fine.
A person without the right to drive who exceeds the limit by more than 50 km/h faces a EUR 450-700 fine and a 12-18 month driving ban. This measure can also be imposed on someone who has never obtained the right to drive.
More on speeding penalties in Lithuania - ANK Article 416.
Speeding fines in other countries
Fine amounts and driving restrictions differ in Estonia, Latvia and Norway. The excess speed, vehicle type, location and procedure used to handle the offence all matter.
Estonia
In Estonia, the fine unit for adults is EUR 8. Section 227 of the Traffic Act provides the following maximum monetary fines:
Up to 20 km/h over the limit - up to EUR 240.
21-40 km/h over the limit - up to EUR 800; alternatively, a driving ban of up to 6 months.
41-60 km/h over the limit - up to EUR 1600; alternatives include detention or a driving ban of up to 12 months.
More than 60 km/h over the limit - up to EUR 2400; alternatives include detention or a driving ban of up to 24 months.
These are maximum fines under the general procedure, not fixed amounts imposed in every case. A driving ban may also be an additional sanction in some cases. Automatically recorded offences and simplified procedures have separate rules.

Speed above the limit | Outside built-up areas | In a built-up area or residential zone |
|---|---|---|
Up to 10 km/h | Warning | Warning |

Norway
Norwegian fines are set in Norwegian kroner (NOK). Their value in euros varies with exchange rates. The following simplified-procedure fines apply from 15 February 2026:
Speed above the limit | Speed limit of 60 km/h or less | Speed limit of 70 km/h or more |
|---|---|---|
Up to 5 km/h | 1250 NOK | 1250 NOK |
6-10 km/h | 3350 NOK | 3350 NOK |
11-15 km/h | 5950 NOK | 5350 NOK |
16-20 km/h | 8650 NOK | 7450 NOK |
21-25 km/h | 13 450 NOK | 10 100 NOK |
This table covers selected fines. Larger speed excesses may involve a different procedure and restrictions on the right to drive.
Norwegian fine amounts and rules.
Fine for driving without a valid vehicle inspection
Driving without a valid mandatory vehicle inspection carries a EUR 50-100 fine, under ANK Article 415(2).
The same provision also covers the specified registration, dangerous-defect, tyre and window light-transmission violations.
A vehicle inspection helps identify defects that may make a vehicle dangerous. Before driving, check both the inspection's validity and the car's actual condition.
More information - ANK Article 415.
Drink-driving penalties
A zero-alcohol limit applies to novice drivers. It also applies to taxi and ride-hailing drivers and drivers of motorcycles, mopeds and the other vehicles listed in ANK Article 422(2). For other drivers, administrative liability for drink-driving generally starts at 0.41‰.
A novice driver with more than 0 and up to 0.4‰ - a EUR 230-300 fine.
A driver of a vehicle listed in ANK Article 422(2), with more than 0 and up to 0.4‰ - a EUR 150-300 fine.
Driving with 0.41-1.5‰ - EUR 800-1100 and a 12-18 month driving ban, or the statutory alternative involving an alcohol interlock.
Drink-driving without the right to drive, where ANK Article 424(6) applies - EUR 1100-1500, a 12-18 month driving ban and possible vehicle confiscation.
Repeat drink-driving under the conditions of ANK Article 427 - EUR 1000-1500, or EUR 1200-2000 without the right to drive. Mandatory vehicle confiscation and a lengthy driving ban also apply.
A motor vehicle driver with an alcohol level of 1.51‰ or more faces criminal liability under BK Article 281¹: a fine, arrest or imprisonment for up to 1 year. The article also covers refusing an alcohol test when signs of intoxication are established, and the specified drinking after an accident before its circumstances are established.
Administrative liability for drink-driving - ANK Article 422.
Fines for talking on or using a phone while driving
Using a handheld phone while driving carries a EUR 60-90 fine. A driving ban of 1-3 months may also be imposed.
The prohibition applies while the vehicle participates in public traffic. Hands-free use is permitted with the phone secured in a dedicated holder, or through the vehicle's equipment. The law provides an exception when the vehicle is parked; the previous wording requiring the engine to be switched off is no longer in force.
If you need to type a message or handle your phone, pull over somewhere permitted. Waiting at traffic lights or in a queue should not be treated as permission to use a handheld phone.
Phone use and other penalties - ANK Article 417.
Other common traffic fines
Driving an uninsured vehicle - EUR 50-100 for the driver. Separate sanctions apply to those responsible for arranging insurance.
Disobeying road signs or markings under ANK Article 417(1) - EUR 30-90.
Failing to signal a turn - EUR 30-90.
Stopping or parking where prohibited - EUR 30-90.
Parking in a disabled parking space without entitlement - EUR 60-180.
Failing to give way when manoeuvring - EUR 60-90 and a possible 1-3 month driving ban.
Driving through a red light - EUR 60-90 and a possible 1-6 month driving ban.

When does an alcohol-interlock restriction apply?
In some cases, the law allows a shorter driving ban together with a prohibition on driving vehicles without an alcohol interlock. This is not an automatic discount a driver can choose. The measure is imposed subject to statutory conditions.
Legal basis | Alternative driving-ban period | Additional interlock restriction |
|---|---|---|
ANK Art. 422(3, 6) | 6-12 months | 6-12 months |

ANK Art. 427(1, 2) | 36-72 months | 18-24 months |
ANK Articles 420, 423 and 427 expressly provide this alternative for persons with an alcohol level of 0.41-1.5‰. It must not automatically be extended to all cases involving drugs or other substances.
Repeat offending under ANK Article 427 depends on the earlier sanction, the date it or the related measure was completed, the offences listed in that article, or an unspent or unexpunged conviction. A second alcohol-related offence of any kind does not automatically trigger Article 427.
