Even 14-year-olds can receive a GAS fine in Ukkel starting November 1

Starting November 1, 14-year-olds in Ukkel can receive GAS fines, as confirmed by Mayor Valentine Delwart. The previous age limit was 16. The decision aims to be educational rather than punitive, with alternative sanctions prioritized. Parents may be involved in determining penalties, and community service options are available. The mayor emphasizes that the goal is not to impose fines immediately but to encourage pedagogical measures. Ukkel is the fourth Brussels municipality to lower the age for GAS fines, following Koekelberg, Sint-Agatha-Berchem, and Etterbeek.
