Malaga drivers could get speed camera fines cancelled after bizarre double-fine discovery

Drivers in Malaga may soon have reason to scrutinize their speeding fines after a drivers' association, Automovilistas Europeos Asociados (AEA), discovered what appears to be a case of duplicated fines issued by a fixed speed camera. The camera in question is located on Avenida Lope de Vega in the Puerto de la Torre district and has been operational for approximately three years.

The association's president, Mario Arnaldo, argues that the case cannot be dismissed as simply an administrative error, as one vehicle was allegedly recorded at two different speeds at the same time and place, raising questions about the reliability of the camera's readings. Gestrisam, the body responsible for managing Malaga's traffic fines, has reportedly been contacted about the case and has already canceled one of the two fines.

However, AEA insists that this does not go far enough and is calling for a technical audit of the camera under Spain's metrology rules, as well as a temporary removal of the device from service until its measurements can be verified as reliable.
