With nearly 80% of Spaniards experiencing some form of vision problem, and drivers relying on their eyes for 80% of driving information, good eyesight is paramount for road safety. Vision often degrades gradually, making regular eye tests crucial. If you wear corrective lenses, always use them while driving and consider progressive lenses for dashboard clarity. Be cautious driving at night or in poor conditions if you experience difficulties, and always reduce speed, as higher speeds limit your field of vision. Remember, certain medications and even dilated pupils can impair your ability to drive safely. Good visual acuity, field, and contrast sensitivity are vital for distinguishing road hazards and can be affected by various conditions like cataracts or diabetes. Always ensure your vision meets legal requirements for driving, and keep a spare pair of glasses handy if you wear them.

Driving with an invalid or expired licence is a surprisingly common, yet serious, offence in Spain, with consequences ranging from fines to prison time. This includes residents driving on unexchanged foreign licences (especially UK licences post-Brexit) and those attempting to cheat driving tests. Spanish law is clear: all drivers must hold a valid, recognized licence for their residency status. Violations can lead to substantial fines (€200-€500), points deductions, and even criminal charges for serious infringements like driving while banned or impersonating another for a test. Stay informed on Spanish driving regulations to avoid legal trouble and ensure road safety.
