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.
