900 euro fine in Spain

Failing to identify the driver in certain speeding fines in Spain can be expensive. The car owner will get a 900 euro fine. These fines triple the amount of the original fine, and there is no early payment reduction.

These are the most common speeding fines in Spain,

  • 100 euro: about 75% of the fines. This is the only speeding fine in which identifying the driver is not mandatory, as points will not be taken off the driver's licence. 
  • 300 euro: about 15% of the fines. Two points taken off. 
  • 400 euro: about 5% of the fines. Four oints taken off. 
  • 500 euro: about 4% of the fines. Six points taken off. 
  • 600 euro: about 1% of the fines. Six points taken off, and driver might be sent to court.
Fines for failing to identify the driver triple the previous ones, 
  • 300 euro: very rare, just in cases when the car owner is not a physical person and refuses to acknowledge the fine. 
  • 900 euro: 80% of the fines for not identifying the driver. 
  • 1200 euro: 12%. 
  • 1500 euro: 8%.
  • 1800 euro: very rare. 
Fines for failing to identify the driver can be disputed, and it is easier than you might think, but we will talk about that later on.

    Hi
    I wonder if you can please help.
    My wife and i live part time in Valencia , Spain. Today we received a fine for 900e for not identifying the driver of our car. It seems either my wife or i was caught speeding but this id the first we know about it. We did not get any other letter or correspondence Just a fine for 900e!!!!
    Also the letter is in Catalan which is a completely alien language to me . Can you please let me know how to appeal this

    Thanks

    Hi
    My advice would be to contact Transit, the catalan traffic authority, and inform them that this is the first notification of such fine you have received. Be ready to identify the driver (full name, NIE number, and address). They will probably ask you to send all of this by fax, quoting the fine number, but they usually accept appeals in English.

    Their contact phone number is 935 675 888.

    I hope that helps.
