How to Appeal a Section Radar Fine in As Pontes de García Rodríguez: Downloadable Template

If you have received a notification for a speeding violation from a section radar (radar de tramo) in As Pontes de García Rodríguez, you are entitled to file an administrative appeal. A section radar does not measure your speed at a single point, but rather calculates your average speed over a specific stretch of road. This template helps you formally contest the fine if you believe there is a technical error, lack of signage, or if you were not the driver at the time.

Instructions on how and where to submit your appeal in As Pontes de García Rodríguez

To submit your appeal, you must present the document within 20 calendar days from the date you received the notification. In As Pontes, you have several options:

• In-person: You can visit the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento/Concello) registry or the local DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) offices if the fine was issued by national authorities.
• Electronic Submission: This is the most efficient method. Use the Sede Electrónica of the DGT or the official website of the As Pontes City Council using your digital certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve PIN.
• Certified Mail: You can go to any post office (Correos) and send the appeal via "Correo Administrativo," ensuring the envelope is left open so the official can stamp the date on both the document and the copy.

Additional documentation required

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

• A photocopy of your National ID (DNI) or Foreigner Identity Number (NIE).
• A copy of the fine notification received.
• Any evidence that supports your claim (e.g., proof that the vehicle was in a different location, a repair invoice showing the vehicle was in a workshop, or evidence of incorrect signage).

Expert Tip: Remember that by paying the fine within the first 20 days, you benefit from a 50% discount. However, if you choose to pay with the discount, you forfeit your right to file an appeal. If you believe the fine is clearly unjust, prioritize the appeal process, but be aware that if the appeal is rejected, you will lose the right to the early payment discount and must pay the full amount.
