Property Point Marbella - Traffic fines to be published on the internet in Spain

The new service starts on Thursday this week

The DGT traffic authority in Spain is to start publishing traffic fines on the internet. From Thursday this week a list of all those drivers who the DGT have been unable to locate will be placed online.

Until the now the official notification of fines has been placed in the Official Provincial Bulletin, but one in three is not paid as the offending driver is not located. Now it is presumed that the driver does have internet access.

Ramón Ledesma from the DGT said that the current system often resulted in guilty drivers’ first finding out about their fine when their bank account is embargoed.

Internet users will also be able to access a new ‘Buzón electrónico’ where, be they companies or individuals, they can see notifications of fines, and other items of interest, such as ITV/MOT reminders.

Currently 15% of traffic fines are paid over the internet.
