The final trap to avoid DGT fines could result in a much larger fine and, in addition, a six-point deduction from your driver’s license. We are talking about the metallized and magnetized silver that has come into fashion in the form of a leaflet, which allows you to hide one or more digits of the license plate, but is able to get rid of this plate at the right time.
This new trend started on TikTok, the social network for short videos, where it was first seen, but it soon moved to Twitter and even other social networks like Facebook. The attention that this method of avoiding fines has attracted has caused DHT explain everything that is wrong with this method.
There are a few things to take into account, and firstly, this accessory has very simple controls: the leaf-shaped magnet has a remote control that allows you to detach it from the license plate if necessary. The usefulness of this element is obvious: to prevent the car from getting into the radar.
Closing the license plate to avoid DGT recognition and therefore avoid any sanctions may seem like a good idea. What’s going on is that it’s not much, and in fact the General Highway Traffic Authority just released a statement on their TikTok account that explains everything that can lead to using this element.

Avoiding a fine with a magnetic sheet may result in more severe sanctions from the DGT.
To understand the problem, one must clearly understand that license plates must be visible and legible at all times in order to avoid sanctions, including fines. there is vehicle with an illegible license plate, with poor visibility or in a worn condition, entails a fine of only 200 euros. The amount is substantial, but it could be much more.
In fact, in case the agents find that the license plate has been changed to hTo complicate their identification, they can issue a fine of 6,000 euros and withdraw up to 6 points from the card.. The truth is that using this accessory is not profitable, since the fine is much higher than for speeding.
In the end, easiest to follow DGT rules both to avoid potential sanctions such as fines and to make roads safe for all users. Tricks are good, but they are best left to magicians in real life and in movies or TV shows.
