The Spanish traffic authority DGT issues a lot of fines for speeding. The fines for 2024 range from €100 to €600. In a number of cases, speeding violations will lead to a deduction of points on your driver’s license.
DGT confirms that speeding is the cause of a large proportion of accidents that occur in Spain. However, distraction is still the main reason. In addition, alcohol and drug use cause many traffic accidents.
Fines and loss of points for speeding
Exceeding the speed limits will result in the imposition of a fine. The amount varies, and depends on the registered speed. The loss of points on the driver’s license also depends on the case. In most cases, speeding is considered a serious offence and only in a few cases is it very serious behaviour.
The traffic authority establishes a classification with the fines corresponding to each offense committed for speeding. This classification consists of different sections depending on the speed at which the offender is driving.
