How Can I tell if I have a Speeding Fine?

I was following an ambulance along AP7 which was taking my friend to hospital in the middle of the night. I needed to keep up with the ambulance and, afraid I would lose sight of it, I ended up very reluctantly driving over the speed limit. How can I find out if I have a fine?

I got fined this Spring, speeding coming out of Madrid. If you pay it quickly, you only pay 50% of the fine, but if you don't, you have to pay 100%, which was a 100E in my case.
Unfortuantely for me, it was sent to the cars registered address, which was back in the UK, so I didn't know I was caught speeding until one of my daughters checked my home mail back home.

That's why I'd like to know ASAP. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can find out?

Are there any speed cameras on the route you took? If not, I doubt that you’d have been spotted. A police car would have stopped you, I’d have thought.

So I guess I just have to wait and see if I get something through the post I think. Thank you for your replies.

You make nothing until a letter from the police arrives. If a ticket arrives you have then 2 weeks(they know because you have to sign in front odlf to the postman) to pay for a 50% discount.

There are a couple of sites that you can check if you have a speeding fine. There is busca multas but that searches the database for fines and is not an authorised site. I've not used it but it would probably make a charge or stick loads of adverts on your PC.
The official one is TESTRA (Tablon Edictal de Sanciones de Trafico).
This is there website and you can translate it with Google
TESTRA

It says you can access it without a digital certificate but it appears a bit hard going.
Best of luck.

You don't have to sign in front of the postman, i received two speeding tickets last year & the notifications were delivered to my communal postbox, i only fond them when i went to check for mail. Also, we were given thirty days, not two weeks to pay only half the amount.
Regards,
Dave.

That’s what I like about Talk Quesada: there’s always a wealth of knowledge out there. Thank you so much for all your help. :text-thankyouyellow:
