Those who leave the tank completely empty can be fined up to two million forints.
British police do not spare motorists who run out of fuel while on the road, forcing them to stop by the side of the road. Local authorities consider such behavior irresponsible, as drivers put themselves, their passengers and other road users at risk by having to stop on the road.
A fine of 100 pounds or three penalty points is best for such cases, but in more serious cases, such as an accident, a fine of up to 5,000 pounds (about 2 million forints) and nine penalty points can be awarded. Penalty points expire in three years in the island country, followed by a ban after 12.
In addition to the penalty, the cost of transport is also borne by the motorist, as most insurances do not cover such events.
According to a British expert, the most dangerous situations that arise are on the highways. He stressed that the government could help motorists by reducing the price of gasoline and gas at the gas stations next to the highways, as many are reluctant to refuel with the more expensive fuel available there. However, the greatest responsibility remains with motorists, who must ensure that they do not cause any risk of accident.
