The driving license, the circulation permit and the ITV card are the three documents that the DGT requires you to carry with you to avoid a fine.
Nothing causes a driver more panic than receiving a traffic ticket, be it for speeding or for having broken any other law. So, be very careful, because the DGT forces you to carry these three documents since March to avoid a fine.
The DGT has been especially involved for years in reducing the accident rate on Spanish roads. According to the body dependent on the Ministry of the Interior, the best way to achieve this is by imposing economic sanctions and loss of card points.
For this reason, the last reform of the Traffic Law introduced an increase in sanctions, not so much in the economic aspect as in the one referred to the withdrawal of points.
The fines for exceeding the speed limits or the alcohol level are the most frequent and also the most substantial, but most drivers are unaware that there are other punishments for not taking into account other aspects, such as not carrying these three documents that , since March, requires the General Directorate of Traffic.

On the other hand, remember that the new Traffic Law introduces new fines and toughens other sanctions that already existed before, although they affect the loss of points and not the economic amount.
