Când se prescrie o amendă de circulație. Termenele pe care șoferii trebuie să le cunoască

In Romania, traffic fines have specific prescription terms. Generally, fines must be applied within six months of the offense. If the fine is communicated legally, the right to enforce it prescribes in five years. However, this period can be interrupted or suspended, meaning fines do not automatically disappear after five years. The communication of the fine must occur within two months of its application. If not, the execution of the fine is also prescribed. Contesting a fine must be done within 15 days of receiving the notice. It's important to note that prescription is different from annulment, which addresses the legality of the fine itself. Waiting for prescription can be risky, as enforcement actions may still occur.
