limitation of fines and traffic crimes

It is important to note the limitation periods for fines, which according to bussgeldkatalog.org in Germany usually three months from the day of the violation. This is the time from which the authority can assert a claim. In the worst case, the delivery of a fine can take up to six months.

When it comes to foreign fines, the limitation periods vary depending on the country. While these deadlines are shorter in many countries, some like Croatia can have a limitation period of five years. Leavings of at least 70 euros can also be collected in Germany within the EU. A traffic offender could be determined when returning to a country in which a fine is not yet statute -barred.
