Slovakia to Begin Mass Removal of Uninsured Vehicles from Roads

Slovakia is launching a comprehensive cleanup of its vehicle registration system, automatically removing cars that have been uninsured for more than two years. Starting in October, a new automated system will generate fines ranging from 120 to 900 euros for drivers without mandatory vehicle insurance and prevent uninsured vehicles from passing mandatory technical inspections. The initiative targets widespread non-compliance with Slovakia's mandatory vehicle insurance law, known as PZP (povinné zmluvné poistenie). Officials are advising all motorists to verify their insurance status in the official registry and update their contact information to avoid potential complications, even if they believe their payments are current.
