Just read this about tough new driving rules in Spain. For anyone heading off soon Spain's draconian new driving laws which mean you'll be FINED £400 for going JUST 1km above speed limit | Mail Online
GPS. And I doubt everyone only drives within the permitted speeds.
Also, I suspect the Daily Fail is ignoring the possibility that the Spanish police (in common with all European and Swiss police forces) actually take 5km off the recorded speed before calculating if you are over, precisely to allow for inaccuracy. Plus, every car I have owned has read faster than the actual speed (although my D2 is within s couple of km/h of the real speed).
The limit in Spain on motorways is 130km/h. If you drive at an indicated 120, you won't be fined - simple as that.
I'm a bit concerned as I'm heading to Santander on the Ferry and using my TomTom app on the iPhone to find my way around. As I have traffic and speed cameras alert would that count as a detector?
Who could I approach for a definitive answer?
All seems silly really, if your speeding then you just need to look out for cameras and police etc, if you get caught then pay the fine all seems simple.
The radar stuff well I wouldn't worry to much at all, in practice I would imagine a slap on the wrist and being told to put it in the glove box. I certainly won't be going out of my way to remove my radar jamming equipment
