A photo of the car arrives at your home address, and one mistake can cost you 1990 euros

The article explains the legal obligations of vehicle owners in Croatia regarding providing verified information about the driver of their vehicle upon request by police or local authorities. It highlights that failing to meet these requirements within 15 days can result in fines ranging from 660 to 1990 euros. The law requires the owner to specify a particular individual whose identity can be confirmed, making responses like listing multiple family members or stating 'I don’t remember' insufficient. Even if the initial traffic violation was minor, the failure to provide accurate information can lead to significantly higher penalties. The article emphasizes that while the owner is not directly responsible for the initial offense, they are legally obligated to identify the driver, and courts consider factors such as whether the request was properly made and if the owner had the opportunity to provide the necessary data.
