Speeding Fines

I haven't been fined but the amount looks correct.

En vías a 90 km/h

• Entre 91 y 120 km/h: 100 euros sin puntos
• Entre 121 y 140 km/h: 300 euros y 2 puntos
• Entre 141 y 150 km/h: 400 euros y 4 puntos
• Entre 151 y 160 km/h: 500 euros y 6 puntos
• Más de 160 km/h: 600 euros, 6 puntos y susceptible de delito penal

Thanks for that information. The letter doesn't mention points. Maybe they save them for if I ever get a Spanish driving licence which I think will be never. I hope I haven't any more of these delights to come as half the time I had no idea what the speed limit was!

In your first post you claim "I did my best to observe the limits" then you say "half the time I had no idea what the speed limit was"!

On that basis who knows how many other fines might be heading your way?

You should be able to pay the fine here https://sedeclave.dgt.gob.es/IWPS5/help/sincertificado_en.html and it should tell you whether it's the full €300 or 50%.

There will be no points involved, there is no system for awarding or deducting points for foreign driving licence holders.

Thanks for your reply and that is what I am thinking "how many more fines are heading my way". Obviously I kept to the limit when i could see it clearly posted but there were times it wasn't marked and as I was on a motorway I thought it was 120Km/h. I have paid the fine online after much difficulty. There are several glitches in the DGT website. One being, every time I tried to type in the document reference it automatically tried to fill in my credit card number! I also had to put my laptop on Spanish time and not put a zero in front of the date. E.g. 9 & not 09 for the 9th November. I got there after about 2 hours and it automatically gave me the 50% discount. It still hurt though. They must do very well on that particular stretch where ever it was! That was my first speeding fine for about 30 years! 

Have a look at the N332 website as it deals with anything to do with driving in Spain.   It is for English speaking people and has an English version of the Spanish equivalent of the Highway Code on it.   The site, and their Facebook page, is run in collaboration with officers of the Guardia Civil as the Trafico Department is part of their force.

Thanks I will.

Peeved?You were going 35 km over the limit.I think you may find you have a points deduction as well👍

It WAS on a motorway . The Spanish police would be better occupied educating drivers how to enter and exit a roundabout and point out there is a little stick on the steering column that operates the indicators. Happy New Year to you.   

Ah, so its the fault of the police your were tearing down the motorway.Speed KILLS .Happy New Year to you and slow down
