I am writing to gather information on the subject of people being stopped by Guardia Civil in Spain when towing a car on an “A” frame. Now before anyone groans about old chestnuts and the subject having been talked to death I will state that I am not out to provoke more argument and furthermore I am not scaremongering.
In the last few months I have had knowledge, backed up by evidence, of four persons who have been stopped and have, depending on which legislation used by the Guardia Civil, been fined amounts ranging from sixty to five hundred euros !!( These are discounted to forty two and two hundred and fifty respectively on the spot but the big one still hurts)
I have been studying in depth various Spanish Regulations,European Law and Conventions relating to the subject and come to a conclusion that there may…just may be a way forward to a satisfactory conclusion.
I need statistics backed up by hard evidence ie. details of as many “tickets” as possible. I don’t need personal details just a scan of the ticket showing the bar code and expediente number, precepto infrigido, lugar de denuncia and all details as far down as the reg. no. of the vehicle. ( If you have one of these you will recognise the Spanish.) Alternatively you can scan the whole ticket blocking out your personal details. Also if you have contested or appealed the ticket I would appreciate details of the resultant communication from the authorities.( again you can obliterate personal details if you wish).Finally were you allowed to continue having separated the tow or threatened with the car being impounded.
I am in Spain for the next few months and hope to collate the details to prove a few points to the authorities personally. I’m a private individual with an “A”frame so I do have a vested interest.
Thank you in anticipation,
