How to Appeal a Mobile Phone Traffic Fine in Nonduermas: Downloadable Template
Receiving a traffic fine for using a mobile phone while driving is a common but stressful experience. In Spain, this infraction carries a significant penalty of 200 euros and the loss of 6 points from your license. If you believe the fine issued in the area of Nonduermas (Murcia) was based on an error, lack of evidence, or a procedural defect, you have the right to submit an appeal known as an "Escrito de Alegaciones." This article provides a practical, legally sound template to help you challenge the sanction effectively.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Nonduermas
Since Nonduermas is a district within the municipality of Murcia, the administrative management of traffic fines is handled by the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Murcia or the local municipal office (depending on whether the fine was issued by the Guardia Civil or the Policía Local). To submit your appeal:
- Deadline: You must submit your allegations within 20 calendar days from the day after you received the notification.

- Postal Mail: You can send the document via "Correo Administrativo" at any post office (Correos), ensuring the envelope is left open so the official can stamp the date on the document before sealing it.

- Witness statements: Signed statements from passengers who can testify that you were not using the phone.

Expert Tip: Be aware that if you submit an appeal, you waive your right to the 50% "early payment" discount. Only proceed with the appeal if you have solid evidence or if there is a clear error in the notification (such as a wrong license plate number or incorrect location). If the evidence against you is strong, the 50% discount is often the more pragmatic financial choice.
