This from a bloke who's received numerous letters from various German constabularies, including the most memorable one which had a piccy of self going through a 120 zone on the Autobahn at a recorded speed of 218 km/h in a Sixt owned vehicle; a BMW 630i does pick up the pace rather nicely. The local law enforcement agency invited me over for a little chat in front of a judge, which I chose to ignore. Haven't heard a word since, and I've rented many a car with Sixt between then and now.

So unless you physically get pulled by the plod next time you're in Spain, bin the letters from the law.
an outlaw and rebel...

btw, you might end up one day in the bin....
