€2000 fine for every unbuckled seatbelt, Greece tightens traffic rules, beware

Greek authorities have recently approved significant changes to the Traffic Code, which are now in effect. One of the strictest provisions concerns the failure to wear a seatbelt while traveling in a car.

Under the new rules, anyone inside a vehicle—not just the driver but also passengers—who is not wearing a seatbelt will face a fine of up to €2000. This applies to both front and rear seats.

The purpose of this law is to increase road safety and reduce the number of casualties in accidents, as not wearing a seatbelt remains one of the main causes of serious injuries.

Greek police have warned that regular checks will be conducted with zero tolerance for violations. Therefore, everyone traveling in Greece is strongly advised to be vigilant and fully comply with traffic regulations.

Remember, wearing a seatbelt is not just a legal obligation but a vital safety measure for protecting yourself and others in the vehicle.

Travel safely and stay cautious at all times.
