Driver Rotronic 12.02.1086

DGT and the highway code

Today we will discuss some cases inconsistent and absurdities of our beloved highway code, among them I found:

  • While driving, smoking, but you can not eat (about 100 fine €).
  • can park occupying 2 seats, but not less than 20 cm of another (fine of 120 €). Código de circulación
  • You can sanction for driving barefoot, but not lead to inappropriate footwear.
  • is forbidden to modify the car components that affect its dynamics, safety, etc. like putting wheels larger than those determined by the manufacturer, but if you can do if homologous (ie, paying a "plus" i practically without any proof).
  • is allowed to drive at 80 km / h per hour on the highway (resulting in constant danger) if you are a new driver, but you can not go without the "L" (fine of 150 €).
  • you must carry a spare set of lights on each car, but not required to know how to change (most people do not even know wearing them).
  • A police check will seek all legal paperwork (insurance, license, ITV, etc.). ... but rarely reviewed the tires have the minimum indications drawing and pressure correct.

After reading this and see the continuing efforts of the DGT to lower the number of deaths on the roads, what is more likely to generate an accident? A car on the highway traveling at 50 km / h less than the other or one without the "L"? "A car that has not paid the tax or ciculación with worn wheels and low pressure?
