Fines for violations of driving regulations

Firstly remember that if a policeman stops your car, do not get out of it, and place your hands on the steering wheel. A police officer checks the documents, explains what is your violation, and what is the punishment for it. A ticket can be paid in banks only. It's not possible to pay a fine on-site.

Legal blood alcohol content allowed is 0,08 ‰. Its exceeding leads to a considerable fine, to driver's license confiscation, and in some cases even to arrest.

As for the fines themselves, here are some sums:

a fine for unfastened seat belts $50
a fine for speed infringement can be $60-500
punishment for parking in areas for the disabled is $250
driving on the roadside $450

Our big company went on the roads of Italy. The final goal was Venice. We rented a minivan and did not regret it. The conditions were great, and the rental cost was ridiculous as we chipped in together. We've selected a car here, since this site gives the opportunity to find a car that can be returned not in the country where it was received. We liked everything very much. There is easy navigation and simple search filter on the site. It's impossible to get confused.

We decided to visit the festival of Czech beer and our big company went there. In order to manage to rent a car (our non-drinking friend constantly drove the car, we took him only for this purpose). The cost for six persons was cheap. We rented a car and paid for it via this site. We got a 7-seater car without any problems and difficulties. We returned it also quite easily. I recommend it!!!!

We went to conquer the desert and flew to Dakar. We felt like real riders at the rally. We reserved the cars via this site in advance in order to get the necessary number of cars. We were pleased with a wide choice of cars, so each of us selected the car he liked. We paid for the cars directly and without fees via this resource as well. Everything was very good. In the future I'll use this portal with great pleasure.
