Questions Learners Have About DGT Fines & Appeals

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising DGT Fines & Appeals, including how questions match the official theory exam in Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the 'Pronto Pago' discount for DGT fines?

The 'Pronto Pago' is a 50% reduction on most traffic fines if paid within 20 calendar days of notification. However, accepting this discount means you waive your right to appeal the fine.

What happens if I don't identify the driver for a DGT fine?

Failing to identify the driver within 20 days is a separate, serious infraction. The original fine amount can be doubled or tripled, and this new fine is not eligible for any discount.

How long do I have to appeal a traffic fine in Spain?

You have 20 calendar days from the fine notification to file an initial 'Alegación'. If rejected, you have 1 month for a 'Recurso de Reposición' and 2 months for a 'Recurso Contencioso-Administrativo' in court.

Which channels can I use to manage my DGT traffic fine?

You can use the DGT's 'Sede Electrónica' (with Cl@ve or Digital Certificate), the 'miDGT' app, call 060, or visit a 'Jefatura de Tráfico' (with a prior appointment). Postal submissions via certified letter are also an option.

When are penalty points deducted from my Spanish driving license?

Penalty points are only deducted once a fine becomes 'firme' (final). This happens either upon payment or after all administrative appeals have been exhausted and the sanction is confirmed.
