As per the 2019-20 budget bill submitted to the Majlis last week by President Hassan Rouhani and published on the website of the Plan and Budget Organization (PBO), the government expects to make 40 trillion rials ($374 million) in traffic and driving fines. The amount accounts for 40% of the government’s $926 million projected income from the huge auto sector.
