Speeding fines
Speeding fines
I was listening to the radio this morning and they had a Traffic police spokesman on, basically he said the new cameras will be issuing fines to the registered keeper of the car, so it doesn't matter if you sold that car ten years ago, if you didn't transfer ownership, then the buck stops with you,
Re: Speeding fines
You have to transfer ownership in Cyprus as you can only tax the car if it's in your name and with insurance in your name.
Re: Speeding fines
An acquaintance in Pathos bought a car then registered it in his name etc. 3 weeks later he was issued with a parking fine from near Nicosia dated 4 weeks earlier. He pleaded his case that he wasn't then the owner and had only just bought the car and had not been anywhere near Nicosia.
Despite presenting his registration etc he was advised to pay it as opposing it would take time and cost more than the fine itself.

Re: Speeding fines
It's only 2 years. My neighbour hadn't been out since December 2019 and when they came recently they had to go to the Road Transport Department twice and re-register their car and pay a hefty fee.
Re: Speeding fines
The Road Tax can be paid online via JCC.
I believe if you don't pay it and don't SORN the car then you are liable for the 'back tax' ie the months and years the car has not been taxed.

Re: Speeding fines
If the car is not taxed for 3 years the registration is deleted and before you can tax or drive the car it has to be re registered.
Re: Speeding fines
Double check with Road Transport but you might have to take the car down to them to have it inspected,my Lotus has been off the road not scorned for two and a half years and I have to take it down for inspection then pay the back road tax then have it re registered!

Re: Speeding fines
I wouldn't worry too much, as soon as fines are being dished out, the majority of drivers will conform to he rules.Paul wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 8:25 am Cameras, have a read of this in the CM.

Re: Speeding fines
You can still drive a car even if it`s not registered nor insured. They guy I had sold my car to last year has done just that. On that occasion I learned that you have to inform the road traffic department within (Ithink) 30 days of the sale and provide them with name and address of the buyer. It´s not good enough to have the TOM9 stamped.

Re: Speeding fines
I would agree wholeheartedly with that. You are not 'allowed' to drive a car with no insurance covering it

Re: Speeding fines
You can drive any car if you have the key, drive it without insurance, run someone over, then spend a few years in jail, terrible advice by Jeba, buy a car then get it transported to your home, if you dont have insurance is the best advice.
Re: Speeding fines
And may the Lord help you, should you get involved in an accident when driving it as above. You may well find that you have iron bars across your window. On the other hand, the right thing to do is to get a garage with red on white professional number plates to take it to wherever you wish.
