Speeding fine - Page 2

On the back of the speeding fines are 2 sections. If the owner of the vehicle was driving it’s quite straightforward, you just go online, web address is on the fine and using the codes on the form  you can pay on line by credit card. 

The other section on the back is for the registered owner to complete  if someone else was driving. You complete it again online with drivers name and address and a new fine is sent out to them - even if it’s a non Spanish address.( That’s the way the hire companies get the fines re issu...

So in that respect it’s similar to a speeding fine issued in the UK.

When the fine is paid you have to confirm you were the person driving the vehicle  again as in the UK, but here a lot of the fines are just that a fine and not points deducted from your licence.  I think the point deduction on your Spanish  licence only kicks in if you were going a certain percentage over the limit.

For information about your nearest correos,   our mail in El Raso comes from the Correos in Carrer Jorge Juan in Guardamar, just round the corner  from the steel palm tree park.  They’re open till 2.30 Monday to Friday.  Parking at this time of the year is easy.

Thank you appreciate your reply. I know I probably sound stupid but I don’t know the nearest post office to El Raso :(

Well I am very surprised that you could not pay it by going on their website

We got one a few years ago and went on their website and paid early getting 50% discount

I can’t remember their website address but on the penalty you have received there should be a reference to the appropriate website and a fine’s reference number so if you pay within 14 days you only pay half of the amount which usually should be 50€

Good luck

You were very lucky, the website appears now to be well known for being faulty and consistently failing.

Hello lovely people, someone was driving our car and we got issued with a speeding fine. As we didn’t know took it to the suma office in Guardamar to pay it but was correctly informed by a very helpful chap that we couldn’t pay it there. Tried to pay it online and got right to the end (thinki...

...ng I was doing so well haha!) and it came up that I couldn’t pay it by that format! Tried calling 060 and again was doing extremely well (using my Deeplo app) got to the end and it cut me off. Now I’m stressed (ha! Nothing new there!). The other options are to pay it at a CAIXABANK (but can’t see a branch near El Raso, Guardamar) or to pay at a CORREOS. Can anyone help please? TIA
