The Ministry of National Development approved the annulment of fines imposed for non-payment of electronic toll in some, well-defined cases in the introductory period; the regulation applies to the unexperienced drivers, who has bought the relational ticket, but not in full accordance with the provisions of law: with delay or on the basis of an incorrect declaration.
The Parliament has laid down the provisional regulation without prejudice to the public interest in such a way that road users not paying toll are not placed in a competitively more advantegous position compared to law-abiding users. Applications can be submitted from 15 November, the final deadline is 8 January 2015.

The experiences of controls of the National Toll Payment Services PLC /NÚSZ Zrt./ which have been carried out during summer concerning road usage rights, show, that the proportion of hauliers non paying the toll is only 1,2 % after the visual control, and this number is steadily decreasing from one month to the next. Since the introduction of the system of last year, the majority of carriers has learnt how to use the HU-GO system, however, some typical user errors still occur that are worth highlighting. In order to promote the law-abiding behaviour, the NÚSZ Zrt. has again collected the most important information in its autumnal brochure „e-Toll guide”. The printed prospectus is available at customer service points of NÚSZ Zrt,, at the dealer points / e.g. at patrol stations/, in offices of the interest representatives and on the HU-GO website as well.
Transport companies can breath a sigh of relief: unexperienced users who have paid the toll, but with delay or not according to the regulation respectively based on false declaration, are granted amnesty by a legislative amendment in the introduction phase of the e-toll payment system.
At the end of March the government decided to set up a committee with the aim of establishing the equitable regulation of fines related to e-toll. The amendment proposal has been prepared as a result of the reconciliation between the Ministries and the interest organisation representing the freighters. Through the fine tuning of the successfully introduced e-toll system the fines fixed on an equitable basis and the efficient control can protect the law-abiding users even more successfully. The onboard unit excluding human error – such as the OBU S550 unit of i-Cell Kft. – is increasingly being used by the freighters. Nine out of ten domestic registered carriers are already carrying out the declaration in this manner, therefore the problem is not expected to reappear.
By waiving e-toll fines imposed in well defined cases the amendment can now save transport companies from insolvency. Bona fide carriers booked their right for road usage subsequently but at latest in 8 hours after the detection of the usage or they changed from the predefined route to a functionally parallel road section which may be available at a lower price. The repeatedly failed toll payment could lead in each case the imposition of a fine of up to an 165 thousand forints. A smaller group of freighters is affected by the problem, however, it is estimated that a significant part of the 100-120 enterprises can become ruined due to the accumulated fine without intervention. The Parliament is entitled to lay down a temporary regulation without prejudice to the public interest in order to avoid that road users not paying toll are placed in a competitively more advantegous position compared to law-abiding users. However, it is important to note: it is only an amendment proposal, it has not yet entered into force,therefore the old rules are valid for the time being.
Since its launch the e-toll system has been working operationally and in a regulated way without serious problems. It has fully fulfilled the revenue expectations of the State budget: the earned toll amounted in total to 103,6 thousand million forints till midnight 24 August. Approximately 40 thousand customers with about 142 thousand vehicles have been registered in the system till now, more than half of them – 76 thousand trucks – make the toll declaration already by using onboard unit (OBU).
– All the 101 control gates have been prepared and are already functioning on the 6500 kilometres long charged road network. Besides, 45 own and approximately 60 data collecting police cars are carrying out the control function, and it is expected that we shall increase their effectiveness through the integration of e-vignette and e-toll payment systems. –Kibédi-Varga Lajos, spokesman of the National Toll Payment Services PLC said and he added: – Consequently, the e-toll cameras will be soon able to control the road usage right with e-vignette end vice versa.
The toll declaration through onboard unit (OBU) provides for a much more convenient toll payment comparing to the relational ticket. In the interests of whole transparency, the pilot period of the fine notification system was launched at the beginning of August. The introduction of the email notification function enables the drivers acting in good faith to meet the requirements of law-abiding behaviour and to avoid the successive fines by correcting their consequent wrong user settings. However, the alarming system won’t change the fining procedure, the data concerning the unauthorized road usage are being transferred to authorities in the closed control system. (more…)
