How to Appeal a Section Radar Fine in Puente La Reina/Gares: Download Your Free Template
Receiving a traffic fine from a section radar (radar de tramo) can be frustrating, especially if you believe the measurement was inaccurate or the notification process was flawed. 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. This template is designed to help you formally challenge a fine issued by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) or local authorities in the Navarre region, specifically for cases affecting drivers passing through or near Puente La Reina/Gares.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your appeal is processed correctly, you must attach the following documents:
- A copy of the notification of the fine (the "boletín de denuncia").
- A copy of your DNI/NIE or Passport.
- Any evidence that supports your claim (e.g., photos of the road signage, vehicle maintenance logs, or proof that you were not driving the vehicle at the time).
- If you are acting through a representative, a signed authorization document.
Expert Tip: Always keep a copy of the "sello de entrada" (the stamp or receipt of submission). If you pay the fine early to benefit from the 50% "pronto pago" discount, you lose your right to appeal. Only choose the appeal route if you are certain you have solid grounds to contest, otherwise, the early payment discount is usually the most cost-effective path for minor infractions.
