Driver safety

Mark Nolan - 21/04/2024

Spain's DGT plans to change traffic laws, explaining how drivers must give way to emergency vehicles, an act previously based on courtesy. Motorbikes may use hard shoulders during congestion under certain conditions. New rules will prohibit overtaking in adverse weather, mandating all traffic to use the righthand lane. Creating an emergency corridor for service vehicles will be obligatory. These changes, aimed at improving safety, are set to be enacted in 2025.

The time to get a remote fine isn't standardised; it depends on the issuing authority. Minor fines expire after three months, serious after six. You must address a notification even if not received, by appealing or paying, as ignoring it won't prevent penalty enforcement. Notifications are done via post, digital platforms, or officially published if undeliverable.

As spring brings more insects, they can obscure drivers' visibility by hitting windshields. It's crucial to keep screen wash reservoirs filled and use it regularly to maintain visibility. Check your vehicle's manual for specifics, ensure you're using the correct cleaning fluids, and also clean other essential parts of the vehicle, like windows, lights, and mirrors, to ensure safe driving conditions.
