Last week, 16 road safety fines doubled overnight. Break the speed limit and you’re now liable for a €160 fine. Use your phone and it’s €120. Fail to put on your seat belt, it’s another €120.

Getting fined is only half the story, however. If you do get caught breaking these rules, you’re going to get penalty points, and if you’ve got penalty points, you’re going to end up paying more for your car insurance.
