Spain’s summer road safety update is here. Fatality figures, speed in deadly crashes, a drop in urban road deaths, and worrying drug and alcohol driving stats — all in this week’s N332 Driving in Spain podcast.
Overtaking is one of the most common, yet potentially dangerous, manoeuvres on the road. In Spain, the Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) places significant emphasis on clear regulations and signage to mitigate risks.
The N332 Collection – 2025 Part 1 is the essential handbook for safe, legal driving in Spain. Covering the first half of 2025, it includes updates to traffic laws, roundabout rules, electric scooter legislation, speed limits, V16 emergency lights, and more—written in clear English by the team behind N332. Perfect for expats, residents and community groups across Spain.
With the summer months upon us, more of us are hitting the roads for holidays and longer journeys. Yet, a crucial component often overlooked is the condition of our car’s tyres.
When driving in Spain, another important law is the Reglamento General de Vehículos, which, as you might guess, dictates standards for the vehicle.
Spain’s July 2025 roads saw 112 fatalities across 101 fatal crashes—despite three zero-death days, safety device non-compliance and conventional road risk remain serious challenges.
