How to Appeal a Section Radar (Radar de Tramo) Fine in Requena: Downloadable Template
If you have received a traffic fine for speeding in a "radar de tramo" (section radar) zone in the Requena area, you have the legal right to challenge it. A "radar de tramo" measures your average speed between two points rather than your instantaneous speed at a single location. This template is designed to help you formally appeal the penalty if you believe there is a technical error, lack of required signage, or if you were not the driver at the time of the infraction.
How and Where to Submit Your Appeal in Requena
Once you have filled out the template below, you must submit it to the relevant traffic authority (usually the DGT - Dirección General de Tráfico). You have 20 calendar days from the date of notification to submit your "alegaciones" (arguments).
- In-person: You can submit the document at any "Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico" (the nearest main office is in Valencia city). You must book an appointment ("cita previa") via the DGT website.
- Post Office (Correos): You can present the document in a sealed envelope at any post office in Requena to be sent via "correo administrativo" (certified mail).
- Online: If you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the appeal electronically through the DGT "Sede Electrónica" under the section "Presentación de alegaciones".

Additional Documentation Required
To ensure your appeal is processed correctly, make sure to attach the following documents:
- A photocopy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- A copy of the fine notification (the "boletín de denuncia").
- Any evidence supporting your case (e.g., if you were not the driver, you must provide the details of the person who was, or if the vehicle was sold, provide the transfer contract).
- Any technical documents or photographs if you are disputing the calibration or the signage of the radar.
Expert Tip: Be aware that if you submit an appeal, you lose the 50% "early payment" discount. Only proceed with the appeal if you are confident that there is a procedural flaw in the fine notification or if the evidence against you is incorrect. Always keep a stamped copy of your submitted appeal as proof of your interaction with the administration.
