Speeding Fines in Greece

Many people abroad get stopped by the police for breaking a road rule. Most often it is for speeding or careless driving, sometimes because they did not know the local traffic rules.

This service helps people through the steps that follow. Depending on the case, these are handled by an official office or by the criminal courts. The aim is to protect your rights and to lessen the money and legal trouble a traffic fine can bring.

How it works

First, the lawyer looks at the fine notice you received. The lawyer checks that it is valid and that the rules were followed when it was issued.

If there are grounds to challenge it, the lawyer writes a formal objection and sends it in on time. If the objection fails, the case can be taken further, to a court that reviews the decision.

You are kept informed at every step and told if anything is needed from you.

What the service includes

• A review of the fine and your driving record
• Gathering the papers and evidence
• Checking the fine for mistakes or possible defences
• Writing and sending appeals against the fine
• Talking with the traffic authorities about a lower penalty
• Representation in court, if needed
• Updates and guidance on next steps

Why it can matter

A successful challenge may lower or cancel the fine. It may also keep penalty points off your driving licence and help avoid higher insurance costs and a bad driving record.
