Q: When approaching a cyclist, you should:

Slow down, leave 1.5m space, only overtake when safe. Reduce speed, maintain 1.5m lateral distance, and only overtake when it is completely safe to do so.

Q: A triangular sign with a red border showing a car on wavy lines means:

Slippery road conditions ahead. This warning sign indicates slippery road surface ahead (due to ice, rain, mud, or oil).

Q: Electronic stability control (ESC) helps:

Prevent skidding and loss of control. ESC/ESP helps prevent skidding and maintains vehicle stability, especially in emergency maneuvers or slippery conditions.

Q: Reversing is prohibited:

On highways, tunnels, and where visibility is limited. Reversing is prohibited on highways, in tunnels, on curves, and anywhere visibility is limited.

Q: When two vehicles arrive at an uncontrolled intersection simultaneously:

Vehicle on the right has priority. The vehicle approaching from the right has priority (right-hand rule).

Q: What is the BAC (blood alcohol) limit in Spain?

General limit: 0.5 g/L blood (0.25 mg/L breath). Novice drivers (first 2 years) and professional drivers: 0.3 g/L (0.15 mg/L breath), dropping to 0.2 g/L in 2026. Exceeding 0.60 mg/L breath is a criminal offence. Spain conducts frequent roadside breath tests (controles de alcoholemia).

Q: How does the Spanish points system work?

Spain uses a descending points system (permiso por puntos). All drivers start with 12 points (8 for novice drivers in their first 2 years). Points are deducted for infractions. Reaching 0 points triggers licence suspension (3 months first offence, 6 months repeat). You can recover 2 points by taking a road safety course (once every 2 years). After 2 infraction-free years, novice drivers receive 12 points; after 3 more clean years, all drivers reach 15.
