Frequently asked questions

Contravention law

How do I contest a fine or a contravention report?

You contest it by filing a contravention complaint with the competent court, within the legal deadline. A generic template does not fit every case: the challenge must be tailored to the specific report and grounds - whether it concerns traffic fines, speeding, the road vignette (rovinietă), parking or a licence suspension. We help you draft and file the challenge correctly.

The contravention complaint must be filed within 15 days of the date the report was communicated. It is important to contact us as soon as possible so we have time to review the report and prepare the challenge.

Filing the complaint on time generally suspends the enforcement of the sanction until the case is resolved. We will explain your specific situation depending on the type of contravention and the sanction imposed.

If the report is cancelled by the court, the licence suspension and the associated penalty points can be removed. We review the file and present you with realistic options.

The burden of proving the contravention lies with the authority that imposed the sanction. If the report is not supported by sufficient evidence or contains defects, it can be cancelled in court.
