Speeding FinesSpain's 2026 Speed Fines Table: EUR 100-600, Half in 20 Days
Spain fines speeding EUR 100-600 with 0-6 points, set by the limit and measured speed (RDL 6/2015, Annex IV). Paying within 20 days halves it; 60/80 km/h over is a crime.
A Spanish speeding ticket is EUR 100, 300, 400, 500 or 600 — nothing in between. The amount and the points come from one table in the Traffic Act, keyed to the speed limit and your measured speed (RDL 6/2015, Annex IV). Paying within 20 days halves it.
The official table
Annex IV of Royal Legislative Decree 6/2015 lists the measured speed (km/h) that triggers each fine, by road limit:
| Limit | EUR 100, 0 points | EUR 300, 2 points | EUR 400, 4 points | EUR 500, 6 points | EUR 600, 6 points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 21–40 | 41–50 | 51–60 | 61–70 | 71+ |
| 30 | 31–50 | 51–60 | 61–70 | 71–80 | 81+ |
| 40 | 41–60 | 61–70 | 71–80 | 81–90 | 91+ |
| 50 | 51–70 | 71–80 | 81–90 | 91–100 | 101+ |
| 60 | 61–90 | 91–110 | 111–120 | 121–130 | 131+ |
| 70 | 71–100 | 101–120 | 121–130 | 131–140 | 141+ |
| 80 | 81–110 | 111–130 | 131–140 | 141–150 | 151+ |
| 90 | 91–120 | 121–140 | 141–150 | 151–160 | 161+ |
| 100 | 101–130 | 131–150 | 151–160 | 161–170 | 171+ |
| 110 | 111–140 | 141–160 | 161–170 | 171–180 | 181+ |
| 120 | 121–150 | 151–170 | 171–180 | 181–190 | 191+ |
The first four columns are serious (grave) offences; the EUR 600 column is very serious (muy grave). Notice how the gap widens on fast roads: 30 km/h over costs EUR 100 without points on a motorway, but EUR 300 and two points in a 50 zone.
On urban access stretches of motorways with a limit below 100 km/h, the fine follows the table for the posted limit, but the points and criminal consequences only apply once you exceed 100 km/h.
Half off for paying within 20 days
Article 94 of the Traffic Act sets the abbreviated procedure: pay on the spot or within 20 calendar days of notification and the fine is reduced by 50%. The trade-off is that you waive any appeal, and the case closes on the day you pay. Points are still deducted where the table provides for them.
When it becomes a crime
Article 379 of the Penal Code applies from more than 60 km/h over the limit on urban roads and more than 80 km/h over on interurban roads. The penalty is three to six months’ prison, or a fine of six to twelve months (day-fines), or 31 to 90 days of community work — and in every case a driving ban of more than one and up to four years (Código Penal, art. 379).

Speeding is the first of the offences covered by Directive (EU) 2015/413, which lets Spain obtain the keeper’s address from the registration country and post the notice there (EUR-Lex). Hire companies pass the driver’s details to the authority.

Between EUR 100 and EUR 600. Annex IV of the Traffic Act (RDL 6/2015) fixes the amount from the speed limit and the measured speed: for example on a 120 km/h road, 121-150 km/h is EUR 100 with no points, and 191 km/h or more is EUR 600 and six points.
