Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas, 28, was recorded driving at 210 km/h (130 mph) on the Attiki Odos, the major ring road surrounding Athens. The incident was captured by traffic enforcement cameras, and Tsitsipas became one of the first drivers to receive a digital speeding fine under Greece’s recently updated traffic regulations.
Under the new rules, Tsitsipas faces a €2,000 fine and a one-year suspension of his driving license. If a driver commits a similar offense for the first time after a previous violation, the penalty rises to €4,000 with a two-year license suspension.
A second repeat offense carries a fine of €8,000 and a four-year license suspension.
Traffic authorities emphasize that the new digital system aims to enhance road safety and enforce speed limits more efficiently across Greece. The Attiki Odos is one of the country’s busiest highways, and high-speed violations are treated seriously due to the risk they pose to both drivers and other road users.
