You should give way to the traffic already on the roundabout. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tip 2: Know your speed limits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motorways (autopistas) = 75 mph (120 km\/h)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dual carriageway (autovia) = 62mph (100 km\/h)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other roads = 56mph (90 km\/h)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built-up areas = 31mph (50 km\/h)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to note that there is a minimum speed limit on motorways and dual carriageways of 37mph (60 km\/h). In some residential areas, particularly around schools, the speed limit will be 13mph (20 km\/h).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tip 3: Know your alcohol limits<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-999\" src=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Woman-in-sunglases-driving-on-a-sunny-day-in-Spain.jpg\" alt=\"Woman driving on a clear road in Spain alongside the countryside wearing sunglasses on a sunny day.\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Woman-in-sunglases-driving-on-a-sunny-day-in-Spain.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Woman-in-sunglases-driving-on-a-sunny-day-in-Spain-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Woman-in-sunglases-driving-on-a-sunny-day-in-Spain-310x206.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It goes without saying that you shouldn\u2019t drink and drive but Spain has incredibly strict drink driving laws \u2013 more so than the UK. You\u2019re allowed 49 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood \u2013 so just one drink, may be one too many. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is even lower \u2013 29 milligrams &#8211; for those with less than two years\u2019 experience. It\u2019s safer to avoid alcohol altogether when you\u2019re going to be driving and leave the car at your accommodation when you\u2019d like to have a drink. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tip 4: Wear your seatbelt and make sure children travel in the back<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As in the UK, you must wear your seatbelt both in the front and rear seats. Children under 12 are not allowed to sit in the front of the car, unless it is a rear-facing seat for babies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All children under 12 (or below 1.35 metres tall) must be in a suitable car seat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tip 5: You must be over 18 years old to drive a car in Spain<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to be 18, which is the legal driving age in Spain, to get behind the wheel of a car. So, if you\u2019re 17 and hold a driving license, you\u2019ll have to wait for your 18<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> birthday. If you\u2019re renting a car, you must be 21. The rules also apply for motorbikes over 125cc. For those under this, you must be at least 16.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Where to stay<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/flamingo-beach-resort\/86875\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flamingo Beach Resort: <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0As one of Benidorm\u2019s most sought-after hotels, expect high quality facilities and endless fun.

You should automatically have this with your UK insurance but it is always best to double check.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you have the following on you at all times:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valid driving license<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof of insurance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof of ID<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof of ownership (if applicable) <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s the law to carry certain items while you\u2019re driving in Spain &#8211; you can receive an on-the-spot fine if you don\u2019t. This includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GB Sticker or Euro plates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warning triangle<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reflective jackets (if you breakdown on a motorway, you can be fined for not wearing one) <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headlamp converters \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spare wheel (and the tools required to change it)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Need to know:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you wear glasses, you must have a spare pair with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re driving a motorbike you must have a helmet and your light must be on at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tip: if you&#8217;re interested in finding out more about the general costs of transportation, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/spain-travel-guide\/\">Spain travel guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip 7: You can only use your lights and horn at certain times<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t turn your full beam on in built-up areas and make sure you use dipped headlights in tunnels. In urban areas, you can\u2019t use your horn but if necessary, you can flash your lights. It\u2019s also advisable to flash your lights to warn vehicles you intend to overtake and you may notice cars doing this to you. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tip 8: Drive sensibly to avoid an on-the-spot fine<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may receive an on-the-spot fine if, for example, you\u2019re caught speeding \u2013 there are radar speed traps that can catch you out, so be aware of these. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do get one of these fines make sure you receive a receipt and if you pay it within 20 days it\u2019ll be reduced by half. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry! Knowing the rules of the roads and sticking to the speed limits will prevent this from happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Need to know: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">be fined for not using your indicators properly on motorways when overtaking. You must signal when you plan to pull out and then back in again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tip 9: Be aware that there are tolls on many of the motorways<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the motorways in Spain are toll roads \u2013 you can pay this by cash or credit card. It\u2019ll make your journey longer but you can often avoid these by taking the dual carriageways instead. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tip 10: Make sure you don\u2019t let your petrol get too low<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure you have plenty of petrol, particularly if you\u2019re going to be driving on more rural roads. You\u2019re unlikely to find any petrol stations open through the night and they\u2019ll potentially be closed for a couple of hours over lunchtime too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unleaded = 95 octane \u2013 green pumps<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diesel = gasoleo \u2013 black pumps<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you know the rules of the road \u2013 driving in Spain will be an enjoyable experience as opposed to a stressful one.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re taking your own car and driving through Spain as part of a road trip across Europe or hiring&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1005,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>10 Top Tips for Driving in Spain | Broadway Travel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Renting a car during your holiday to Spain?
