RDW advises: Object to the torrent of fines from London

RDW has known about the problem for a long time: piles of fines and collection costs that are poorly collected. The first reports of this date date back to 2022. As a result, the service launched an investigation.

The license plate data was passed through Italy.

For example, the way license plate data (owner and address) of Dutch trucks and passenger cars ended up in Euro Parking Control (ECP). This company collects fines across Europe on behalf of councils and cities, including London.

However, RDW does not provide the data. There is no agreement to share this with the UK if the purpose of the application is to impose environmental taxes. These are the fines that are imposed on carriers, even if they have already paid the tax.

7.5 million fines

Together, this amounts to 7.5 million euros in fees and reminder costs, RTL News reported last week based on figures from Transport in Nood. This company specializes in dealing with international fines.
