ποΈ Fines
Despite recent increases in traffic fines, Estonia continues to see a rise in speeding violations. In January 2025 alone, authorities recorded 2,248 speeding offenses, an increase of 739 compared to the same month the previous year. This surge suggests that higher penalties have not effectively curbed speeding behavior. Experts argue that without comprehensive traffic education and systematic enforcement, fines alone may not lead to safer driving habits. βClick here to learn more
