Violation is punishable by a fine
Both Danish and foreign trucks automatically have their number plates read. The number plate is compared with payment data to ensure that the truck has paid for the route via satellite-based vehicle equipment (box/app) or a digital KmToll ticket.
If you have not paid the correct road toll, the Danish Road Traffic Authority will issue a fine following a specific assessment of the offence.
Can I get a refund if I have already paid a fine?
Payment of fine
Have you driven a truck of 12 tons or more without paying the correct road toll?
Objection
If you disagree with the fine, you can raise an objection
What if I don’t pay?
If the fine is not paid, the case will be transferred to the police. A case may also be transferred to the police when there is an objection, or if the case is complex from the outset.
Foreign trucks may be denied passage at the Storebælt fixed link if there are unpaid KmToll fines imposed by the courts or accepted out of court through the police. This only applies when both the debtor and the truck are based abroad. The trucks can either turn around, or pay their unpaid fine related to KmToll and then proceed with crossing the Storebælt fixed link. The rules on denial of passage do not apply to foreign debtors based in Finland, Iceland, Norway, or Sweden.
Do you move an OBE/OBU between one truck and another?
Each time an OBE/OBU is moved from one truck to another, you must register the correct vehicle registration number with your provider to avoid fines.
Otherwise, we cannot match the number plate reading with your payment made via the OBE/OBU.
Automatic number plate reading
The number plate of your truck will automatically be read by cameras at both fixed and mobile control points.
Fixed control points are located at traffic hubs selected based on Denmark's geography.
Additionally, on your route, you may encounter mobile control units, which are moved around to exert control pressure throughout the country. The fixed and mobile control units can collect relevant digital information about all trucks that pass and recognize the truck's number plate.
Control
To determine if your truck is liable to pay the toll, we combine three technologies:
- automatic number plate recognition
- technology to classify vehicle type and determine size
- DSRC scanners (Digital Short Range Communication) determine if the truck is operating with satellite-based vehicle equipment.
