WILLEMSTAD - The police of Curaçao issued more than eighteen thousand traffic fines last year. That is about a thousand more than in the pre-corona year 2019.
By far the most fines are given for the lack of the necessary vehicle documents. With more than fourteen thousand official reports, this type of violation amounts to a percentage of almost 78 percent.
The lack of driver's license, insurance, inspection card, and tax sticker is generally observed during organized police checks. Just like the more than seven hundred fines for driving through a red light. The more than three thousand fines for not wearing seat belts are also usually issued during organized police checks.
