Violations regarding the MYTO system can result in heavy fines. Unlike the e-vignette, where a violation can be reversed by paying until midnight on the same day, there is a zero tolerance for the MYTO system, where each driven kilometer is subject to a fee.
| Severity: | On the spot fine: | Administrative Fine: |
| Minor (e.g., incorrect axle setting) | €100 – €300 | Up to €500 |
| Major (e.g., no OBU or no credit) | €500 – €700 | Up to €1,500 |
| Repeat Offenses | Higher Tiers | Up to €3,000 + License Susp. |
Note: In the case of intentionally manipulating the OBU (e.g. hiding, jamming, etc.) the police might seize the vehicle until the maximum fine of €3,000 is paid.
Common violations include:
- Driving without an OBU
- Insufficient credit on OBU if pre-paid
- Incorrect axle setting (e.g. forgot to update OBU)
