How to Appeal a Mobile Phone Traffic Fine in Lozoyuela: Downloadable Template
If you have received a notification of a traffic fine for using a mobile phone while driving in the municipality of Lozoyuela (Madrid), you have the legal right to challenge it. This document is a formal "Escrito de Alegaciones" (Statement of Allegations), which is the official legal document used to contest a traffic penalty when you believe the fine was issued in error, lacks sufficient evidence, or when there are procedural defects in the notification process.
Instructions on how and where to submit your appeal in Lozoyuela
To submit your appeal, follow these steps:
- Complete the template: Fill in your personal details and the specific fine information (expediente number).
- Submission Method: You can submit this document through the Sede Electrónica of the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) if you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN. Alternatively, you can present it in person at the local Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in Madrid.
- Deadline: You must submit your allegations within 20 calendar days from the day after the notification is received.
- Important Note: Do not pay the fine if you intend to appeal it. Paying the fine (even with the 50% early payment discount) is considered an admission of guilt and will automatically close the administrative file, preventing you from pursuing the appeal.

Additional documentation required
To strengthen your appeal, you should attach any evidence that supports your claim. This may include:
- A copy of your ID (DNI or NIE).
- Proof of the location of your vehicle at the time (e.g., parking tickets or GPS logs).
- Photos or reports if the visibility conditions were poor at the time of the alleged infraction.
- Any document proving that you were not driving at the time, if applicable.
Expert Tip: Always ensure you keep a stamped copy of your submission or a digital receipt (justificante de registro) as proof that you filed the appeal within the legal timeframe. If you are unsure about the strength of your case, consider consulting with a specialized traffic law firm, as a poorly drafted appeal can sometimes lead to the loss of the early payment discount without successfully dismissing the fine.
