Reglamento General de Circulación

The Reglamento General de Circulación outlines Spain's traffic laws, enforced by the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT). Recent news highlights specific aspects of these regulations and their application. One article discusses the mandatory use of safety vests in addition to the V16 emergency beacon, emphasizing that the beacon's introduction doesn't negate the vest requirement. Another focuses on a driver fined for carrying an unsecured ladder in the passenger seat, illustrating the enforcement of rules regarding cargo safety. A third article reports on a proposal to modify Article 117, which currently restricts children under 135cm from sitting in the front seat, even when only one adult is present. These news items demonstrate the ongoing relevance of the Reglamento General de Circulación in ensuring road safety and the DGT's role in upholding these regulations, while also showcasing potential areas for reform or clarification.
