Many diplomats pay their traffic fines is not, that is known. As a result of the latest news item in this regard have CDA and SP minister Opstelten through Questions of the parliament to further specification required, with the following result.

In The Hague, the last five years for 307.004 euros in parking fines issued to cars with CD number plates. This is 185.954 euro never paid. In addition, since 2009 for 1.027.286 euro, mainly flitsboetes diplomats handed out. In total, for 528.593 euros in fines by the inviolable diplomats as well as TOILET paper.

Who are the biggest defaulters?

On the question of which countries most of their inviolability, came Opstelten with the following list, which we have exactly zero Western European countries:

#1 Russia
#2 China
#3 United Arab Emirates
#4 Iran
#5 Egypt
#6 Indonesia
#7 Morocco
#8 Of Bosnia-Herzegovina
#9 Ghana
#10 Malaysia

In the words of Dutch Mp Pieter Omtzigt has called CDA for an American system, which is entirely in the honkbaltraditie the CD-registration after three unpaid fines, is hereby repealed. Also can wanbetalende embassies on their parking spaces reduced.

Seems to me an excellent plan. Dimplomatieke inviolability is essential, but it should not for this kind of ordinary fine-evasion being abused.
