If you are going to vacation or have to run an errand, exercise greater caution and drive responsibly, because traffic fines will be stricter in 2022. The infractions will rise to ¢ 6,200 as of this Saturday, January 1, 2022, as announced by the General Directorate of the Traffic Police (DGPT). The increase in traffic fines corresponds to the upward adjustment in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) between July 2020 and June 2021. Edwin Herrera, executive director of the Road Safety Council (Cosevi), indicated that there is a clarity that driving speed, recklessness, and alcohol consumption increase at parties. Herrera recalled that these elements threaten life, so it is necessary that the culture of the Costa Rican increase in the sense of road safety. “We believe that it is important that Costa Ricans enter into reflection because what travels in or on a vehicle is the sustenance of the family and the family itself. We, who are parents and who travel with our children, must be clear about the responsibilities we have and the obligation to get home because we are part of the support of the house, ”said Herrera. The Road Safety Council (Cosevi) recalled that in the event that the driver receives a sanction in 2021, but pays in 2022, the fine of the year in which the fine was drawn up will be applied.
