Country Information - Spain
Bail Bond: a guarantee to be lodged
with the police in the event of an accident or major
traffic violation - no longer a legal requirement
for Spain and most insurance companies have stopped
issuing them.
Children in cars: Children under 12
cannot travel in the front unless using a suitably
adapted restraint system. In the rear, passengers
under 135cm tall must use specially adapted safety
devices and restraints.
Documentation: always carry your driving
licence, vehicle registration document (V5), and certificate
of motor insurance. If your licence does not incorporate
a photograph ensure you carry your passport to validate
the licence. If the vehicle is not registered in your
name, carry a letter from the registered owner giving
you permission to drive.
Drinking and driving: Don't do it.
Over 0.05 per cent and you could face anything from
a severe fine, withdrawal of your licence, up to imprisonment.
Fines: On the spot fines are issued.
Ensure an official receipt is issued by the officer
collecting the fine.
First-aid kit is advised, but not
compulsory.
Fuel: All grades of unleaded petrol
(benzin), diesel (gasoleo 'A') and LPG are available
as well as lead substitute additive. Leaded no longer
exists. It is allowed to carry petrol in a can. Credit
and debit cards are widely accepted, although they
probably won't work at automatic pumps, which are
often the only pumps open out-of-hours and at lunch-time
(from noon to 3pm) away from the Autoroutes. It's
a good idea to let your card issuer know you will
be travelling abroad. This ensures they don't suspend
your card if they spot it being used in unfamiliar
places, which they sometimes do as an anti-fraud measure.
