The Legal Map of Fleet Fines — What Article 125 Establishes
For a transport company, road fines are not isolated episodes — they are a constant operational risk that raises questions across dozens of documents, deadlines and circles of liability. Article 125 of the Code of Administrative Offences is precisely the norm under which most fines on drivers are written, and knowing its sanctions exactly is the foundation of fleet budgeting. Otherwise the company pays more than it should — not only because of the violations themselves, but because of mismanaged deadlines and discounts.
Article 125 sets its sanctions part by part, and each must be counted separately: exceeding the established speed by more than 15 but not more than 40 km/h — 50 GEL; exceeding it by more than 40 km/h — 300 GEL; speeding committed by a person carrying out regular passenger carriage within municipal boundaries, intercity regular passenger carriage or international regular passenger carriage — 400 GEL; violating a road sign, a traffic controller or right-of-way rules — 100 GEL; violating the rules towards pedestrians — 40 GEL, and its repetition within 1 year — 150 GEL; disregarding a no-stopping or no-parking sign — 10 GEL, and within the administrative boundaries of Tbilisi municipality — 50 GEL; parking in a space designated for persons with disabilities — 200 GEL; driving in a lane designated for route vehicles — 100 GEL.
Separate note deserves the cases where liability reaches the enterprise directly: driving in violation of the rules for fixing a recognition sign provides for a fine of 50 GEL imposed on the driver or the enterprise. The aggravated compositions also matter for budgeting: speeding that created an accident situation — 400 GEL; speeding with light damage to property or a person's body — 600 GEL; organized blocking of a road in a city — 1 000 GEL together with a 1-year suspension of the right to drive; transit movement within the administrative boundaries of Tbilisi — 500 GEL. This list is not exhaustive — article 125 is far broader — but these compositions form the bulk of a fleet's fine mass.
