How to Appeal a Section Radar Fine in Moaña: Free Template Download

If you have received a notification for a speeding violation captured by a "radar de tramo" (section radar) in or around Moaña, you are not alone. A section radar does not measure your speed at a single point, but rather calculates your average speed between two points over a specific distance. If you believe the fine was issued in error or there is a procedural defect, you have the right to appeal. This article provides a ready-to-use template to help you initiate the administrative appeal process in Spanish.

Instructions on how and where to submit your appeal in Moaña

To submit your appeal (recurso de alegaciones), you must act within 20 calendar days from the date you received the notification. In Moaña, you can submit your documentation through the following channels:

• Electronic Office (Sede Electrónica): This is the fastest method. You can submit your appeal through the Moaña Electronic Office using your digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN.
• In-Person: You can visit the General Register (Registro General) at the Moaña Town Hall (Concello de Moaña). Always bring two copies so the clerk can stamp one as your proof of receipt.
• Post Office (Correos): You can send your appeal via "correo administrativo" in a registered envelope (carta certificada con acuse de recibo). Ensure the clerk stamps the envelope before sealing it.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your appeal is processed correctly, you must attach the following documents to your submission:

• A copy of your National ID (DNI) or Foreigner Identity Card (NIE).
• A copy of the notification letter (the fine) you received.
• Any evidence that supports your claim (e.g., photos of the road if signage was missing, or proof that you were not the driver at the time, if applicable).
• If you are represented by a third party, a signed power of attorney or authorization document.

Expert Tip: Remember that if you choose to pay the fine within the 20-day voluntary period to receive the 50% discount, you lose your right to appeal. If you decide to appeal, do so within that same 20-day window to avoid the fine increasing or entering the enforcement phase. If the administrative route fails, your final option is to file a "recurso contencioso-administrativo" in court, though this usually requires a lawyer and court fees.
