Download Free Word/PDF Template to Appeal a Speed Camera Fine in Cedrillas

Receiving a traffic ticket for speeding captured by a fixed or mobile radar can be frustrating, especially if you believe there was an error in the calibration, signage, or identification of the vehicle. If you were caught speeding in or around the municipality of Cedrillas (Teruel), you have the legal right to challenge the fine. This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to navigate the Spanish traffic bureaucracy and includes a ready-to-use, legally valid template in Spanish to file your appeal.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Cedrillas

When you receive a speeding fine issued by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) or the local authorities in Cedrillas, you generally have a 20-calendar-day window to either pay with a 50% early-payment discount or submit an alegación (appeal). Submitting an appeal means you waive the early-payment discount, so you should only proceed if you have strong grounds for defense.

You can submit your appeal using any of the following official channels:

• Online via the DGT Electronic Headquarters (Sede Electrónica de la DGT): If you have a digital certificate, DNIe, or Cl@ve, this is the fastest and most trackable method.
• In-person at a Traffic Provincial Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico): The closest one to Cedrillas is in Teruel. Make sure to request an appointment (cita previa) beforehand.
• Through the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Cedrillas): If the fine was issued by local police, you can submit the paperwork at the Registro General del Ayuntamiento de Cedrillas.
• By Spanish Post (Correo Postal): You can send the document via certified mail (correo administrativo) from any Post Office, addressed to the corresponding traffic authority. Ensure the envelope is unsealed so the postal worker can date-stamp the original and your copy.

Additional documentation required

To strengthen your appeal in Cedrillas, make sure to attach all supporting documents that validate your case. Along with the filled template, you should include:

• A copy of your National Identity Document (DNI) or Foreigner Identity Number (NIE).
• A copy of the traffic fine notification letter you received.
• Any evidence supporting your case (e.g., proof that you were elsewhere at the time of the infraction, repair bills if a mechanical issue forced a temporary acceleration, or photos of confusing/obscured speed limit signs in the Cedrillas area).
• If someone else was driving your car, include a signed statement from the actual driver accepting responsibility, along with their driving license details.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy or the digital submission receipt of your appeal. Spanish traffic authorities are legally obligated to respond, but administrative silence can sometimes occur. Having proof that you submitted your claim within the strict 20-day window protects you from escalating surcharges while your case is under review.
