Motoring Fines in Morocco
Hi all,
Been meaning to post this for a while, but only just hit reasonable wi-fi.
Please be aware that the cost of motoring fines has gone up significantly (change happened late 2010 we believe, but was news to us)
Everything is detailed at great length in a free booklet (apparently available in any significant town), but shown to us at the roadside in Tan-Tan.
Basically as the driver of a car/camper/4x4, as long as you are wearing your seat belt and not talking on the phone (class 2 & 3 infractions respectively), anything you do wrong is a 1st class infraction and as such is liable for a 700 dirham fine!
This is big money (to us at least), but does seem to be legit.
Be careful, especially at badly placed stop signs in the middle of roundabouts!
