How to Download and Use a Section Radar Fine Appeal Template in Verdú (Word/PDF)

Receiving a traffic fine can be stressful, especially when it comes from automated systems like section radars (radar de tramo). If you have been penalized by a section radar—which calculates your average speed over a set distance rather than just your speed at a single point—you have the legal right to contest it. This practical guide explains how to appeal a section radar fine in Verdú, complete with a ready-to-use Spanish legal template.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Verdú

When appealing a traffic fine issued within the municipality of Verdú (Lleida), the procedure depends on which authority issued the ticket (the Servei Català de Trànsit, the DGT, or the local municipal council). Generally, appeals can be submitted through the following official channels:

• Online via the Electronic Office: If the fine was issued by the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) or the Catalan Traffic Service, you can submit your appeal digitally using a digital certificate or Cl@ve system on their respective official websites.
• In-Person at Official Registries: You can present the physical document at the Ayuntamiento de Verdú (Town Hall) registry office or any official public administration registry in Spain, which will forward it to the competent sanctioning authority.
• By Postal Mail: You can send the completed and signed template via certified mail (Correo Administrativo) from any Post Office, addressed to the traffic department indicated on your fine notification.

HECHOS

 

PRIMERO.- Que con fecha [Insert Date], se me ha notificado la denuncia formulada por el radar de tramo ubicado en [Insert Location/Road, e.g., C-14 / Verdú], por rebasar presuntamente el límite de velocidad establecido.

 

SEGUNDO.- Que el sistema de control de velocidad por tramo requiere una medición continua y compleja, y la denuncia notificada carece de elementos probatorios esenciales exigidos por la Ley de Tráfico y la normativa metrológica.

 

FUNDAMENTOS DE DERECHO

 

ÚNICO.- Se solicita expresamente la aportación del certificado de control metrológico del cinemómetro utilizado (tanto del punto de entrada como de salida del tramo), así como las fotografías que acrediten fehacientemente el inicio y final del trayecto, y el margen de error legalmente aplicable según la Orden ITC/3722/2006. La ausencia de estos elementos vulnera el principio de presunción de inocencia consagrado en el artículo 217 de la Ley 39/2015.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your appeal has the highest probability of success, you should attach the following documents to your submission:

• A copy of your National Identity Document (DNI, NIE, or Passport).
• A copy of the original fine notification (the official complaint document sent to your home).
• Any evidence you possess, such as dashcam footage, repair bills proving you were elsewhere, or documentation regarding vehicle ownership if you were not the driver at the time of the alleged infraction.

Expert tip from our legal consultants: Always verify the exact dates. Submitting your appeal within the initial 20 calendar days is crucial. However, keep in mind that submitting standard allegations usually means forfeiting the 50% early payment discount, so evaluate the strength of your technical defense (such as requesting calibration certificates for the section radar) before proceeding.
