April 2026 Driving Update: Speed Awareness, Spring Hazards and Safer Roads in Spain

Monday, April 13, 2026 • Duration 37:01

In this April update, Mark Nolan from N332 looks ahead to a busy period on Spain’s roads, following increased Easter traffic and the approach of the summer season.

This episode covers key topics featured throughout the month, including spring driving hazards such as wildlife, changing road conditions, reduced visibility, and the impact of pollen and medication.

A major focus is the Europe-wide speed awareness campaign, explaining why speed is not just about limits, but about time, reaction, and human capability.

Also included are insights into driver behaviour, journey planning, fatigue on familiar routes, and how all road users can better coexist during busy periods.

One Night of Pleasure, A Lifetime of Regret

Saturday, December 20, 2025 • Duration 11:51

Every December brings celebration, but it also brings preventable tragedy. The December edition of N332 Signpost highlights drink driving from three perspectives: the driver, the police officers who attend the scene, and the families left behind.

Drivers often underestimate the effect of alcohol. It dulls judgement long before they realise it, leading to decisions that cannot be reversed. Police officers witness the aftermath firsthand, from the broken silence of a collision scene to the painful duty of informing families. And families live with the empty chair, the questions that never end, and the future stolen by someone else’s moment of recklessness.

DGT's Digital Revolution, The Hidden Danger on UK Roads, and Compulsory Eye Tests for Older Drivers

Season 2 · Episode 11

Monday, October 13, 2025 • Duration 10:41

This week, the N332 Driving in Spain Podcast delivers essential updates affecting drivers across Europe. We begin in Spain, where the DGT has formally revamped the driving theory test, introducing new questions based on updated road signage and confirming plans to integrate video-based risk assessment in 2026—a model inspired by the UK and Australia. If you are learning to drive or renewing your knowledge, this is critical information.

Crossing to the UK, we detail the urgent tyre safety warning issued by National Highways. Shocking statistics reveal that one in four vehicles may be running on illegal or defective tyres, posing a risk comparable to mobile phone use at the wheel. We explain the 'T.R.I.P.' campaign and why checking your tyres is more crucial than ever as winter approaches.

We also look at forthcoming changes to UK driving law, including proposals for mandatory medical and eye tests for drivers over 70 at licence renewal, and a potential lowering of the drink-drive limit in England and Wales to match Scotland and the EU.

Finally, we feature a full breakdown of the DGT’s mandatory technical standards for e-scooters and Personal Mobility Vehicles (VMPs) in Spain, covering everything from speed limits and lighting requirements to the new Certificate of Compliance.

Our Motoring History Corner looks back at the launch of the controversial Ford Sierra and the day a British car broke the sound barrier.

The DGT and Guardia Civil have launched a high-intensity surveillance campaign this week focusing squarely on driver distraction, a core cause of road fatalities in Spain.

This episode of the N332 Driving in Spain Podcast explores the critical need for constant attention, looking beyond mobile phones to include dangers like smoking, talking to passengers, and even adjusting the radio, using a shocking international news story as a powerful reminder of the consequences of momentary inattention.

We also cover the latest Spanish road law updates, including the rollout of new road markings, the approaching deadline for the mandatory V16 connected emergency beacon, and the controversial new signs monitoring minimum safety distance.

Finally, we highlight three essential articles available on the N332 website throughout this week, providing a deep dive into tyre safety compliance, the 1.6mm legal limit versus the recommended 3mm safety margin, and how to read the vital codes on your tyre sidewalls.

Our historian’s segment looks back at the launch of the Ford Sierra and Spanish classic motoring events.

This week on the N332 Driving in Spain Podcast, Mark Nolan delivers urgent safety information and traffic alerts as Spain heads into autumn.

We dissect the DGT’s latest, worrying statistics showing that vulnerable road users now account for half of all road fatalities, underscoring the vital need to eliminate distraction, alcohol, and speed.

A critical warning is issued regarding the EU’s new Entry-Exit System (EES), scheduled for a phased rollout starting October 12th, which is set to fundamentally change how non-EU citizens cross the border, with potential for significant travel delays.

We also detail the DGT’s forthcoming national School Transport Safety Campaign, which will see intensified checks on buses, drivers, and seatbelt compliance in November.

Finally, Mark covers essential autumn driving tips, from checking your tyres and wipers to extreme vigilance around schools, and we close with a trip through Spanish motoring history.

All safety documents discussed this week are available for reading on the N332 website.
