New way to pay traffic fines
Following my recent post on traffic fines I have a further update for those driving in the Fuengirola area. Local Police cars have now had electronic POS (point of sale) terminals installed. This means that those who are fined for committing a driving offence will be able to pay on the spot with a credit or debit card.
The benefit
Yes there is a benefit, any fine settled within 20 days of notification attracts a 50% discount off the total fine. Paying on the spot gaurantees the discount, no need to worry about missing the 20 day deadline. Another great benefit is you get confirmation of the payment straight away along with further confirmation on the statement from your bank.
A first?
I understand that Fuengirola is the first town to adopt this system and it’s introduction follows research that told them that people would like to be offered this kind of payment flexibility.
