After 12 years trouble free driving here in Spain, finally paid the penalty for a moments inattention on a road very near home, which is the time "experts" say your attention level diminishes rapidly. Received my first ever fine in the post, having been caught by a mobile traffic unit, ...... 98 in 60kph area ( ooooops!!), €300 smackers + 2 penalty points.
However, the good news, if you can call it that, penalty reduced by 50% if paid within 20 days from date of issue of penalty notice.
So, should you be so unlucky as to receive such a notice for any traffic offence in Spain, pay it promptly and lessen the blow. Not such good advice of course if you are in Spain for long trip, maybe ask family to watch out for Spanish mail franked by the dreaded DGT.
