The DGT is fundamentally changing the driving test in Spain, and if you drive a car in the UK, you might be sharing the road with 6 million illegal tyres! This week, we break down Spain’s digital theory test revolution
Every October in the UK, motorists are reminded of one of the most critical — yet often overlooked — components of vehicle safety: the tyres.
This week, the DGT is targeting every form of driver distraction—from holding a mobile phone (a 6-point, €200 offence) to subtle habits like smoking or talking to passengers. We detail why this campaign is crucial, reviewing a news story where a driver changing a song caused a horrific school bus accident. Plus, we highlight our three new website articles, explaining the mandatory need for identical tyres on each axle in Spain and why safety experts recommend replacing your tread at 3 millimetres, not the legal 1.6 millimetres, to significantly improve wet weather stopping distances.
Rain increases risks on the road. Check your windscreen, wipers, tyres, and lights before setting off. In wet conditions, slow down, avoid sudden manoeuvres, and be careful around puddles — they can cause aquaplaning or splash pedestrians, especially near schools.
New border checks, new DGT campaigns, and a shocking statistic on vulnerable road users: this week’s N332 podcast has essential information for all drivers in Spain. Tune in for an urgent warning about the EES border system rollout and key details on the DGT’s upcoming school bus safety blitz.
