Never Drive in Spain Without Knowing the Rules of the Road

Driving in Spain is mostly a pleasurable experience. It would be easy to forget about what you’re doing when driving in Spain. Keep in mind that in Spain you have to drive on the right-hand side of the road. This means that all traffic coming from the right has right of way. It might be unusual for those of us who are used to driving on the left-hand side. On the highway, expect cars to flash their headlights before overtaking. It is a warning to let you know they are about to pass. Intersections of two highways will have a roundabout under the higher one, you can use it in order to start driving in the opposite direction (U-turns are forbidden). Never cross a solid white line on a highway; you have to wait for the broken line.  Other than these driving rules, as a foreigner you should be aware of the following: 1) The driver and the passengers must wear seat belts at all times. 2) The speed limits are 120 km/h (75 mph) on highways, 100 km/h (62 mph) on main roads (roads with 2 lanes), 90 km/h (56 mph) on all other roads and 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas. 3) Talking on your mobile while driving is strictly prohibited, you are however allowed to use a hands-free system.
