DGT excludes extensions and recalls sanctions

In recent weeks, there has been a lot of talk about a possible extension of deadlines, but the DGT nipped the rumors in the bud by ensuring that there will be no extension.

Furthermore, he recalled that, if we do not transport one of these devices, we risk a fine and clarified the amount we will have to pay.

Controversy over the V16 connected beacon: business and visibility doubts

The decision of the DGT to impose a Connected V16 beacon instead the triangles This causes great controversy among users.

And not just because it has become a big company for many companies (including operators), but because various videos show that their visibility is not good.

Mandatory since January 1 and fine of 80 euros

Regardless, and whether or not we agree with its use, the connected V16 beacons are OBLIGATORY of the January 1.

And what will happen if we don’t take it? The DGT itself confirmed that it could give us a fine of 80 euros (40 euros for quick payment), and not 30,000 euros as it circulated on social networks.

What cases are sanctioned: unapproved device or without geolocation

This is exactly the same financial penalty that we have faced so far for not putting the triangles in case of breakdown or accident.

And this applies both to those who I don’t have the devicelike those who wear a unapproved tag either without geolocation function activatedessential condition for the DGT to be able to receive in real time the vehicle position.

Initial flexibility and absence of specific controls

The good news is that Pere Navarro, director of the DGT, assured that in the first days the agents will be flexible to give margin to users.

Furthermore, he explained that there will be no tag control there is also no one to check if you have the triangles: “they are not going to stop cars to impose a fine specifically or to see if they wear the V16“.

When will compliance be checked and how the penalty is applied

The problem is that if we have a accident or if we commit a offenseit will be verified that the driver respects his bondsand among them have the current insuranceTHE MOT in order and of course, take the tag.

And if we don’t respect the latter, they will put a financial penalty of 80 euros.
