A driver receives an official DGT traffic fine notification on their mobile app. Within how many days must they pay the fine to benefit from a 50% discount, and what is the legal consequence of doing so?
A)Within 20 business days (excluding weekends); paying with the discount allows the driver to still file an appeal later.
B)Within 20 calendar days (including weekends); paying with the discount means the driver waives their right to appeal the fine.Correct
C)Within 45 calendar days; paying early reduces the fine by 50% but adds 2 extra penalty points to the driver's license.
Under DGT law, the voluntary payment period lasts exactly 20 calendar days (días naturales, meaning weekends and holidays count) starting from the day after the notification. Taking the 50% discount means you legally accept responsibility for the infraction, which automatically terminates the administrative procedure and waives your right to appeal (renuncia a presentar alegaciones).
