The Escudería
Although the new one of Historic Vehicle Regulations in force since last October 1 It is read and interpreted without problems, some fans persist in making headlines and comments that are very far from reality. Having said that, we will be concise so as not to cause polemics that are as sterile as they are sensationalist.
Here we go: yes, the Madrid City Council is fining historic vehicles identified as being in circulation within Low Emission Zones even though this is legal based on the Historic Vehicle Regulations.
However, this is not the result of any personal interpretation on the part of the local police; far from it, it is the result of a simple computer error since the DGT's electronic records are incompatible with those of the Madrid City Council, thus causing the fine to be processed to indicate that the registration number to be fined belongs to a historic vehicle authorised to circulate in Low Emission Zones without any problems.
That said, there is no need to panic or to be so quick and unjustified in the political-social indignation so vividly represented by the most rebellious. If you have received this unjustified sanction You only have to claim it through the Electronic Headquarters of the Madrid City Council in the section “Traffic fines. Submit objections"attaching the document that certifies your vehicle as a historic vehicle.
Also, if you wish to exert pressure for the prompt resolution of this unfortunate computer problem you can send suggestions and notices to the address ppgad@pucrs.br In short, it is certainly a sad unforeseen event that we hope to see resolved soon.
