The General Courts have approved the new Motor Vehicle Insurance Act.

The Act also introduces significant improvements to the compensation system for victims of road accidents, increases the powers of the Insurance Compensation Consortium, and strengthens supervision of insurance companies.
Feet on the dashboard may seem like a carefree summer habit, but it could end in devastating injury or worse. In Spain, it’s not only illegal to sit incorrectly in a vehicle — it’s potentially fatal. Airbags deploy at speeds of up to 300 km/h. In a crash, that cool, relaxed position can result in shattered bones, facial trauma, or death. Even at just 25 km/h, an airbag impact can destroy your lower limbs. Here’s why posture matters, and why “cool” could cost you your life.
Hitting the open road in Spain with your motorhome or caravan? While it promises freedom, understanding the DGT’s strict distinction between “parking” and “camping” is vital to avoid fines. Learn what’s allowed, where to stay, and the specific licensing and speed requirements for both motorhomes and towed caravans to ensure a smooth, penalty-free Spanish adventure.
