License revocation and hefty fines: Changes to the Highway Code come into effect

If you are drunk, have been previously fined by the police for this violation of the Highway Code, and drive again with more than 0.5 g/liter of blood, your license will be revoked forever, with no possibility of retaking it at a driving school. This drastic measure is being taken to eliminate chronic drunks from the road, who are considered the most dangerous drivers.

If you are an adult without a driver's license and are caught driving a vehicle by the police, in addition to the fine, you will not be able to obtain one for 1 year, so you do not have the right to go to driving school to become a driver.

The measure is more severe if you are a minor and are caught behind the wheel. When you are 18 years old, you will not be able to get a license like your peers. At least 2 more years must pass before you can attend driving school.

Traffic accident statistics show that young drivers who have just received a driving license have a high probability of being involved in accidents, speeding and other violations. For this reason, it has been deemed appropriate that this category of drivers, in the first 2 years of having a license, should not put a single drop of alcohol on their lips while behind the wheel, the speed on the highway should be a maximum of 90 km/h and 80 km/h on other roads outside populated areas.

If they are not respected, the fine is from 5 thousand to 15 thousand lekë, in addition to the suspension of the license for 1 month and the removal of points. If during this 2-year phase the driver commits 2 violations within 1 year, the speed or traffic restrictions are extended by 1 year, bringing it to 3.

An important change is also made to the suspension of the driving license. If until now, the suspension could be converted by paying double the amount of the fine by the fined party, both by foreigners and Albanians, now for the licenses issued by our authorities, this does not exist. The suspension of the license is done automatically.

There are also increases in fines for speeding in residential areas, near schools, and for those who race cars or make aggressive maneuvers. If until now the fine was 10 to 40 thousand lek, it will go from 20 to 60 thousand lek. If a driver is caught 2 times in a year with a cell phone in his hand at the wheel, his license will be suspended for 3 months.

Until now, the Highway Code had this violation 3 times. Cellphone use is prohibited not only by car drivers, but also by drivers of bicycles, motorcycles up to 50 cubic meters, and skateboards.
