There is no penalty point system in Slovenia.

      Usually you have to wire the money to a particular IBAN of the Slovenian government (there is more than one for traffic fines so they have to specify which one). But they must also include a payment reference otherwise it’s possible that the payment may not be recorded correctly.

    If you seek the earthly equivalent of the wrath of satan, look no further- Commit even the most trivial of traffic offenses in slovenia then hold on to your soul as you have given the cops to take the rest… To the bone!

    Is there any way to check speeding tickets online?


    • Remy

      Nope. Only demerit points if your a Slovenian resident with a government-issued digital certificate.

    Pray to god you dont get pulled over in Slovenia or they will throw the book at you. No leniency whatsoever,no signs that radar control near,they hide their patrol cars just to get you (especially foreign reg)…just like old time eastern european cops. Best dont bloody go to/through the country.(dont bieve the adverts its not as nice as they say).

      100% true! The patrol cars are hidden waiting for a foreign registration car to pull over and give them a fine. The speed control cameras are also hidden without a sign informing you that there is a speed camera in that area. That’s just plain wrong, what does the camera accomplish if you don’t even know the camera is there? The point of speed cameras should be to deter drivers from speeding instead of taking money from the drivers. The fines are ridiculously high. 125$ for going 10 above the speed limit in a “village” (2 restaurants and 2 gas stations, that’s it, that’s the whole thing) is ridiculous.

        It’s an inhabited zone with a 50 limit. There’s no legal obligation to notify the drivers of an upcoming permanent speed trap. There’s a ton unmarked speed traps around Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Norway, etc. as well. If anything a typical driver in Slovenia would only temporarily decrease their speed and once past accelarate considerably again. Speed traps can be a source of public revenue even if they don’t necessarily improve safety, as long as the revenue ends up in the national or municipal budget and not in the hands of a private company.

    Is there any possibility to cancel your fee if the speed control is not well indicated? In italy many years ago was crazy like now in slovenia but many drivers opposed to the fees because speed control must be a system to limit speeds and not to amount cash! Now speed controls are well indicated with signs and lighta before you reach them.

      I really don’t understand your point. So traffic signs with speed limit are not indicative enough for you? You would like to have another sign that would additionally emphasize the meaning of the first one or what? As one would say… the first sign was there just because but now with this second one we really really really mean it.

      Yes, of course! If your tachometer is faulty, I’m sure you can say so and the nice policeman will be happy to waive your speeding fine. Instead, they’ll impound your car because it’s not road legal.

      In Slovenia speed traps can also be a source of revenue even if they don’t necessarily improve safety. There was also an attempt to redirect 90% of fines in Maribor to a private contractor, though this eventually lead to a series of national protests, resignation of the mayor, and fall of the government eventually in 2013 (though mostly for other reasons).

    There is indeed a penalty point system, that also applies to foreign drivers (though in this case the points are only administered in the national police database, and aren’t transferred abroad). A driver can accumulate up to 18 points (7 for drivers under 21 or with than 2 years of driving experience), after which the license is revoked. The tolerance varies between 3 and 7 km/h depending on the speed limit and radar type.

      In addition, if you pay within 8 days (or on spot for foreign nationals), you are entitled to a 50% discount.

        Sorry for the delayed answer. There will come an update on this 🙂

          No problem :). You should correct the information about the points system as well, since they can also be credited to foreign drivers, though they’re never transferred across borders. You can send an e-mail, since it’s quite complicated.
