The control vehicles of the executive agency Road Transport Administration are now equipped with POS terminals. They are linked to the Agency's electronic control system where the penalty notices are generated.
The POS terminals enable the payment of the penalty notices by offenders who are foreign citizens without a permanent address on the territory of Bulgaria, as well as Bulgarian citizens.
In case the offender does not wish to appeal the fine, he/she can pay it immediately via POS terminal or by bank transfer within 14 days, in both cases the value of the fine is reduced by 20%.
The introduction of this payment method will increase the collection of fines and reduce the administrative burden.
The equipping of vehicles with POS terminals started in stages at the beginning of the month. So far, more than 10% of offenders without a permanent address in Bulgaria have taken advantage of this method of payment of fines.
