This week we bring you urgent lessons from tragedies and policy changes across Europe, combined with fresh initiatives here in Spain.
Cycling is healthy and sustainable, but it comes with risks. Helmets are mandatory for under-16s and recommended for all. Bikes must have a bell, reflectors, and lights at night.
This week on the N332 Driving in Spain podcast, we’re all about the school run! We’re breaking down the rules for walkers, cyclists, and drivers to make sure every journey to school is as safe as it can be.
E-scooters are now a common sight on the school run. Officially classed as vehicles, they must follow road laws. Local councils may set their own rules, including age limits and helmet requirements, so parents must check locally
For many families, the school run means a car journey. Children under 1.35m must never travel in the front seat, and all children must be secured with the correct child restraint or seatbelt. Bags and loose objects should be stored securely.
