Right now the economy of the majority is not up for many unexpected surprises. And the traffic fines that we receive from time to time are one of them, although we are not always going to be forced to pay them.
Over the years and especially those of us who have been driving with our corresponding valid license, we have received a fine. Generally, these come from the DGT or General Directorate of Traffic and usually entail a displeasure, of a greater or lesser amount. It can be a fine in which we have exceeded a speed limit, because we have parked in a prohibited place or many other reasons.
Many of these DGT fines that arrive suddenly, we can pay them in a certain period of time and thus save a good percentage. However, we must also bear in mind that we are not always going to agree with the infraction of which we are accused. And it is that as with all organizations, even if they are official, they can make mistakes. Therefore, if we are dissatisfied with the infraction that has just arrived and that requires a certain financial outlay, we always have the possibility of filing a claim.
To date, we had to do this in person at any of the traffic headquarters in our city. However, today and to speed up the process and make it more comfortable for us, we can carry it out over the Internet. Therefore, in the event that you come across this unpleasant situation, below, we will tell you how to present the corresponding allegations and online resources.
Claim DGT fines from home
The first thing that we must take into consideration is that, when claiming a fine from the General Directorate of Traffic, we must have arguments to present the claim. Otherwise the whole process could be a waste of time and even lose the economic savings due to premature payment. Once we are convinced that we are right in that allegation and we do not agree with the fine that we have received, we sit in front of the PC and open our web browser. Next, we only have to access the DGT official page for these procedures.
It is also interesting to know in this sense that the processing of the allegations that we are going to present is totally free. Likewise, we must bear in mind that, to present these allegations, we must provide the corresponding evidence within a period of less than 20 calendar days. If we later need to file an appeal for replacement, we have a one-month period to do so.
From this website we can request an appointment to make the claim in person, but here the interesting thing is to do it online. Obviously, in order to carry out this procedure that we are discussing, we will have to identify ourselves digitally, something we do through the Cl@ve method. We can also use an electronic ID if we have it. It is easy to imagine that if we pay the fine in the voluntary period to benefit from the discount that we mentioned before, we give up making claims, even if they are online.
