Driving in SpainSpeed limits are usually:
Seat belts must be worn in front and rear seats (where fitted) Random breath-tests are carried out, and the limit of 80 micrograms per 100ml is enforced. This is lower than UK limits. Automated Radar speed traps are not as profuse as in the UK and at the time of writing (2005) it was dubious whether Spain had access to the DVLA owner database to collect the details of offenders. Manned speed traps are quite common and it is advisable to adhere to speed limits for your own safety. Petrol is sold in the same grades as the UK. Prices are around 30% cheaper than in the UK. On-the-spot fines are usually imposed on visitors, unless a serious accident has taken place or the limit is considerably exceed, in which case the car is impounded and the driver detained. If the driver does not have enough cash he/she is escorted to the nearest cash machine Roudabouts: Take care, specially in Catalonia. Although the rules state that you should us the left lane when turning left at roundabouts, many Catalans (specially the older ones) still observe the old rules of giving way to the right. Motorists therefore use the right-hand lane to turn left. being in the left lane when going straight on can be frightening! |
