Point Losing Offences

By 
in :  F.A.Q., Fines and Sanctions
197

The new Traffic and Road Safety Law approved this year imposes more severe punishments for certain behaviours that are considered to have a greater risk for road safety and increases the points that can be deducted from us for committing infractions such as carrying the mobile in hand while driving, not using the seat belt, helmet or child restraint system, …

Washing Your Car in the Street Can Lead to a Fine

By

There are some fines that might seem a little excessive or unnecessary in traffic law, but they are all based on making the roads safer. If you don’t keep your car clean you could face a fine of 80 or 200 euro fine, depending on the surface of the car that is covered. The most punished element is the number …

Carrying Your Shopping on the Back Seat Can Result in a Fine

By

1,703

Carrying your shopping on the back seat of the car is never a good idea.

“In Spain we Drive on the Right” might seem like an obvious thing to say, as it makes the point which we hope is quite clear, in Spain we do indeed drive on the right, but the law goes much further than that, in fact, the General Traffic Regulations leave no room for doubt, “Drive in the right lane whenever …

To drive on the road, the car needs to pass the Inspección Técnica de Vehículos, a vehicle inspection similar to the UK’s MOT, commonly known as the ITV.

Cycling Respect

By

As children, many of us were taught to ride a bike, taking its learning as one of our first most outstanding feats.

347

If you have been caught committing a traffic offence, you are most likely to have been issued with a fine. However, sometimes mistakes do happen, or maybe you weren’t responsible for the offence being committed, in which case there is a procedure for appealing. The DGT filed an average of 10,000 traffic fines per day in 2020, sanctioning 3,877,297 drivers. …
