An update has been issued by the Spanish Directorate-General for Traffic to try and improve road safety in the country
Drivers heading to Spain this summer are being warned how a common bad habit could land them a £170 fine. Many Britons take to the continent for family holidays during the warmer months, and Spain has long been a popular destination.
Andrew Jervis, CEO of leading online mechanic marketplace ClickMechanic, said: “Driving while on holidays in another country can be an incredibly enjoyable experience and gives us much more freedom to enjoy the local surroundings. “This summer, falling foul of this rule could land you with a €200, or £170, fine as law enforcement officers get tough on offenders. Not only that, but being too slow to use your indicators before changing direction can land you with a minimum €80, or £68, fine.
Since January 23 this year, drivers in Spain have been warned that they must indicate when taking on manoeuvres such as changing lanes, turning or exiting roundabouts. The Spanish Directorate-General for Traffic insisted it is a ‘critical component of road safety’ so that other road users are aware of any manoeuvres you are about to do.
