It is a strengthening of the sanctions - prison sanctions are introduced for REALLY going far too fast, being quite over the drink limits, driving whilst using the mobile phone etc. the prison limits go upto 6 months. There is quite a lot, the best is to check the following link: http://www.dgt.es/dgt_informa/normat...LETONORMAS.pdf English translation of the El Mundo newspaper here (scroll down to details, sometimes takes a couple of goes to get it but it does show) NEW CRIMINAL CODE ON ROAD SAFETY Speed, alcohol and driving without a license can cost from jail today http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.elmundo.es/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Delmundo%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG General paper, in English, can be viewed here http://translate.google.com/translat...%3Den%26sa%3DG This message was last edited by morerosado on 12/2/2007. _______________________ Hello-o-o I'm a I'm back from almost a month in Spain.

I think it may take some time for the new rules to be rigorously implemented, just like here. From the way everyone drives how are they going to tell if someone has been drinking. Also isn't it compulsory to have alcohol with your coffee? It seems that way in all the roadside stops. By the way does anyone else think that the P&O Bilbao ferry is one big rip off? Expensive and dirty. Our first and last experiece. We'd rather drive through France and have decent meals on route. Spam post? If so please click here to report it
12 Dec 2007 2:05 PM Rixxy Villa I'm in San Pedro I've made 1816 posts Send private message to Rixxy	You say that but just after midnight on the fist day of december poor guy got caught speeding. Result was 720 euro fine, 20 hours community service and an 8 months ban!! There were others with some being jailed. The cops here do this, go in hard then everyone is scared so ensure they dont get caught. We went out last night and OH didnt drink at all as was driving! - I had his share!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! _______________________ Quite frankly m'dear, I don't give a damn! info@direct-auctions.com www.direct-auctions.com www.weightmanagementclubs.com Spam post?

There is absolutely no need to make such rude personal comments, under any circumstances. The season of goodwill has obviously passed you by.

Let's not bring this forum down to that level eh? Yes the traffic laws are a serious subject, but there is room for a little humour in most walks of life, it takes the edge off of an otherwise monotonous (but very necessary) subject.
