Dear Sir or Madam ! I drive about 30,000 km a year and I see a lot of things on the road. I have not had any traffic tickets for quite a few years, so the problem of penalties does not concern me, but I have a proposal for an immediate amendment to the ZPrCP, namely a substantial reduction of penalties for certain offences. Today's penalties for misdemeanours have absolutely nothing to do with the principle of proportionality compared with the penalties for criminal offences, which are draconian in relation to the wages of the average Slovene. The disproportionality of the penalties is very great. One case where no punishment at all is necessary, or a max warning. In a car park, you knock over a neighbour's car when parking. As the owner was not there at the time, you leave a note with his name and phone number. When the owner arrives, regardless of the slip, you call the police and of course the police arrive vehemently and start dealing with it. At that moment, the driver who collided arrives, and I suggest that, since the matter happened on the block of flats and she left the driver's ticket, they write a European report and the matter is closed. I should add that the two cars were parked together at all times. Police: NO, and writes a fine of €300 and 3 penalty points, based on Article 42(3) of the ZPrCP, which, according to an unprofessional assessment, exceeds the material damage. Here is proof that honesty does not pay and that the law and the police conduct have no relation to reality, because such a scratch can happen to anyone, no one was endangered, and the penalty amounts to almost half of a police officer's net salary. This cannot be seen as anything other than a budget-stuffing exercise, because the excuse of safety does not hold water here, because the matter is really of negligible importance. In the case of such a minor offence, the prosecutor would simply have dismissed the case or transferred it to a private prosecutor. In the same car park, the car of the driver in question was damaged by an unknown driver who fled about 1 month ago. So much for honesty and whether it pays to be honest. You know some people are honest and that is why they are punished!!! And there are more and more examples of this: the police punish old athletes who drive 63 km/h in the morning instead of 50. At night, it's a racer's oho ho !.... Calmly check my traffic offences and you will see that I have none ! Please, if you forward to the Ministry of Interior ! I don't know what the statistics show, but I think the Law has only been effective in terms of fines collected for minor offences. However, living in a democratic country under the constant threat of heavy penalties for minor offences such as the ones described above is far from normal ! LP Jože Urankar
