Solutions · Fines & parking charges

A fine paid twice is twice too many.

The fine lands at the lessor, the driver has changed three times, the surcharge falls while the ticket travels desk to desk. Backlane identifies who was driving, allocates, rebills with your handling fee, and nobody touches it.

Where the money leaks

The surcharge by slowness

An unprocessed parking charge gets a surcharge. Multiplied by a fleet, it is a tax on disorganisation.

The fine never rebilled

The lessor pays to avoid delays, promises to rebill, and the trail is lost.

Desk time

Identifying who drove a vehicle on a given date, by hand, on a rotating fleet: hours every week.

What Backlane does
✓Attaches every fine to its vehicle and the contract active on the offence date
✓Allocates the right driver, with the supporting document
✓Rebills the amount plus your handling fee (€10 and up: your scale)
✓Processes before the deadline: the surcharge becomes the exception
✓Archives everything: per-driver history feeds the risk score
Who does the work

The Billing agent carries the rebilling; the driver's file grows with every fine.

The countdown

You have 45 days. Most fleets waste 40 of them.

French road law requires the driver to be designated within forty-five days. Being late does not cost you the fine: it costs you a second one, usually heavier than the first.

D+0
The notice arrives. It is attached to the vehicle by its plate, with no re-keying.
D+2
The driver is identified from the assignment running on the day and hour of the offence.
D+5
The designation goes out, and the fine is rebilled to the driver with the handling fee set in the contract.
D+45
Legal deadline. Beyond it the company is exposed to a fourth-class fine, multiplied fivefold when it targets the legal entity.

The difficulty was never legal: it is knowing who was driving that Tuesday at 2:12 pm. When assignments are current, the answer is immediate and the designation is a five-minute formality.

Frequently asked questions

What about mandatory driver designation?

Backlane gives you the essentials: who was driving, contract attached, within the deadline. The designation remains your legal act; the file is ready when you make it.

Parking charges, speed cameras: is everything covered?

Processing covers fines attachable to a vehicle and a date: parking charges, parking and traffic fines. If the vehicle and date exist, the allocation exists.

The driver disputes it?

The file carries the contract active on the offence date and the vehicle's history. The dispute is handled on documents, not from memory.
