contraordenação grave — serious traffic offence
The middle of the three levels of traffic offence: on top of the fine, it carries a driving ban of one month to a year and the loss of points. You can't just pay the fine and be done with it — the case continues over the ban.
Where you come across it. The fine notice: the length of the ban appears next to the amount.
A very serious offence (muito grave) carries a ban of up to two years. To ask for the ban to be suspended, you use a separate form, F302.
