How to Appeal a Section Radar Fine in Veriña: Downloadable Template
If you have received a notification for a traffic violation detected by a "radar de tramo" (section radar) in the Veriña area, you are legally entitled to challenge it. 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. If you believe there was a calibration error, a signage issue, or if you were not the driver, this template will help you initiate the administrative appeal process.
Instructions on how and where to submit your appeal in Veriña
To submit your appeal (Recurso de Alegaciones), you must act within 20 calendar days from the date the fine was notified. In Veriña, you have three primary ways to file your document:
- In-person: Visit the local DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) provincial headquarters or the "Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano" (Citizen Information Office) in Veriña. Ensure you bring two copies so one can be stamped as your proof of receipt.
- Online: If you possess a digital certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the document through the official DGT E-Office.
- By Mail: You can send the document via "Correo Administrativo" at your local Correos office, ensuring the envelope is left open so the official can stamp the date on the first page of your document.

Additional documentation required
To strengthen your appeal, you must attach the following documents to your application:
- A photocopy of your DNI/NIE or Passport.
- A photocopy of the fine notification received (the "boletín de denuncia").
- Any evidence that supports your claim (e.g., photos of the road if signage was obscured, or documentation proving the vehicle was elsewhere).
- If you are acting as a representative, a signed authorization document (modelo de representación).
Expert Tip: Be aware that if you submit an appeal, you lose the 50% "early payment" discount. Only proceed with an appeal if you have solid evidence, as the DGT is strict regarding section radar data. If you are unsure, consult with a legal professional specializing in Spanish traffic law before submitting, as an unsuccessful appeal will result in the full fine amount being due without the possibility of the reduced rate.
