Violations of traffic regulations are typified in the Organic Comprehensive Criminal Code (COIP). What’s more, these are divided into first class, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh class.

- Driving without a license.
- Lack of work (puñetes) to the transit authority.
- Speeding outside the moderate range.
A fine of two SBUs, a reduction of ten points on the license and retention of the vehicle for seven days is established in the following cases:
- Carry out passenger transport without a qualifying title.
- Driving a vehicle with a license of a lower category than the required one.
- People who participate with motor vehicles in competitions on public roads.
Either in these cases or in others belonging to different classes, an appeal to the traffic fine can be requested. According to the legal study Ad Hoc, “The person summoned may challenge the traffic ticket, within a term of three days counted from the summons. This citation can be produced in person (traffic ticket) or through technological means (email or telephone calls)”.

The AMT considers three scenarios when a driver appeals the sanction:
The fine remains and the offender must pay it.
The fine is suspended and removed from the system.
If the driver paid the fine, but the challenge was accepted, the money is returned. (I)
