If I received a fine for a traffic violation but did not pay it within 15 days, can I avoid doubling the fine if I pay it after this deadline, but before it is entered into the Unified Register of Debtors?

After a fine has been imposed, the driver has 10 days to appeal it and 15 days to make a voluntary payment. If the decision was not appealed and the fine was not paid within the period established by law, the decision is sent to the enforcement service, and the collection is carried out by force.
If the matter reaches the point of enforcement of the resolution, the driver will have to:
-
reimburse the costs incurred by the state due to the compulsory collection procedure;
-
pay a fine in double amount.
