How to Appeal a Section Speed Camera Fine in Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo (Downloadable Template)
If you have received a traffic fine for speeding in a "radar de tramo" (section speed camera) zone in or around Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo, you are not alone. A section speed camera does not measure your speed at a single point, but calculates your average speed between two points over a specific distance. If your average speed exceeds the limit, the system automatically issues a fine. This template is designed to help you formally appeal this penalty if you believe there was an error in the reading or a procedural failure.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo
Once you have filled out the template below, you must submit it to the relevant traffic authority (usually the DGT or the local municipal office if it was a local police fine). You have a period of 20 calendar days from the notification of the fine to submit your appeal (alegaciones).
- In-person: You can present the document at the local "Registro de Entrada" of the Ayuntamiento de Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo or at the nearest DGT provincial office.
- Online: The most efficient method is via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using a Digital Certificate, Cl@ve, or DNIe.
- By Mail: You may send it via "Correo Administrativo" (certified mail) from any post office, ensuring the envelope is left open so the official can stamp the date on the document.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your appeal is processed correctly, you should attach the following documents to your submission:
- A copy of the notification of the fine received by mail.
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Any evidence you may have, such as photos of the road conditions, maintenance receipts if relevant, or documents proving you were not the driver at the time (if applicable).
- Proof of representation if you are hiring a lawyer or representative to act on your behalf.
Expert Tip: Remember that if you pay the fine within the first 20 days, you benefit from a 50% discount. However, be aware that by paying the fine, you are effectively accepting the penalty and waiving your right to appeal. If you are confident that the radar was malfunctioning or the signage was insufficient, it is often better to submit the appeal before making any payment. Always keep a stamped copy of your submission as proof of the date you initiated the legal process.
