Parking Fines
A friend of mine got a parking ticket today for not paying whilst parked in a blue zone. The car is English reg and my friend is not a resident, but is a regular visitor and owns a holiday property here. Should he pay it or would it be safe to ignor it.

Re: Parking Fines
Blue zone here, they give you a ticket and an envelope, go to the machine, put ticket in, pay the amount shown, take ticket out, put in envelope then put in another slot in machine, sorted.
Used to be about 3 €`sut now about 6 €`s.

There's no envelope, just a printed strip of paper like a supermarket receipt with 40euros on it

Re: Parking Fines
I dont mind paying a fine of 6 euros 30 cents. A very civilised amount for a fine!

Re: Parking Fines
It should tell you everything you need to know on the fine itself. If it is only in Spanish then shove it in an online translator or post it on here. I'm sure someone wouldnt mind translating it for you.

You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice.
I'd pay it.

Re: Parking Fines
The traffic police now carry around a handheld computer with a database of the number plates of all the cars in the country. So they can check up on things like unpaid fines, whether it has valid insurance etc.
A little warning for everyone...

Fine is 40€, normally 6€ or there abouts is what you pay on the spot to cancel out the fine, as said, you pay then put receipt in envelope and posy in top of the box,you do not say where you are, maybe different where you live

Should have an envelope with the piece of paper, the envelope has the instructions regards cancelling out the fine, this is normally in English as well as Spanish
