Record fines in 2025: the new script for your shoots

Published on September 05, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The DGT has closed 2025 with 6.1 million fines, a figure that marks an era. For those of us who live between studios, locations, and events, every kilometer counts. Speeding fines range from €100 without points to €600 with 6 points, even reaching criminal offense status. Surveillance does not forgive, and the logistics of your travel demands a thorough review.

Route planning and anti-fine technology for the set 🎬

The solution is not a homemade portable radar detector, but rather integrating navigation apps with alerts for fixed and mobile speed cameras, updated in real time. A professional must calibrate travel times with generous margins, using fleet management tools that log incidents. Checking road conditions before leaving avoids detours that make you hit the accelerator. Strict compliance with speed limits is not optional; it is part of the technical production script.

The new prop: your license as a risk accessory 🎭

It is no longer enough to arrive at the set; you must arrive without your GPS singing you a ballad of lost points. It seems the DGT wants to be the executive producer of all our journeys. If you used to fear the director, now you fear the speed camera. Next time you complain about traffic, remember: every minute of delay is a minute you are not racing toward a fine with a moral lesson.
