HIGH-SPEED rail services between Spain's largest two cities and France have been snapped up by half a million passengers in less than nine months, reveals the transport board.
Traffic police checkpoints across Spain all this week
09/05/2016
A WEEK-LONG safe-driving campaign will see traffic police patrolling all secondary roads in Spain starting from today (Monday) through to Sunday, May 15.
Speeding, overtaking in dangerous places, alcohol and drug consumption, using a mobile phone or headphones at the wheel, tampering with sat-navs or other elements that may cause driver distration, seatbelt and child booster seat use, and helmets in the case of motorcyclists and moped riders will be under scrutiny.
Vehicle documents including ITV (MOT) stickers and insurance policies, driving licences and required safety equipment – spare bulbs, at least two reflective jackets, a red triangle and spare glasses for those who need them to drive – will be checked.
Non-motorway roads between towns are where most accidents, and most of the worst accidents, happen, despite the lower volume of traffic.
