The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works announces that, following today's decision, the Council of Ministers approved the amendments to the Bills “On the Leasing of Vehicles Without a Driver” and “The Out-of-Court Offense Regulation (Amending) Law of 2021”.
The amendments of the specific Bills include provisions for the obligations of both the lessee and the lessor for the payment of the fines that arise during the period of the lease from the driving and circulation of the rented vehicle, it is mentioned.
The specific amendments are expected to finally settle the issue of collection of extrajudicial fines arising from drivers of rental vehicles, most of whom are tourists leaving Cyprus neglecting to pay the extrajudicial they have received.
Indicatively, from data provided by the Police and the Municipalities for the period 1.1.2015 – 31.12.2019, 19,529 out-of-court fines related to motor rental vehicles have not been paid.
It is also expected that, with the specific modifications, the traffic violations committed by the tourists will be significantly reduced, thus improving the level of road safety, he concludes.
