Immigrants in Spain should pay attention to Spanish law: the current traffic law in Spain stipulates that drivers must maintain complete control of the vehicle at all times and must not cause harm to other vehicles or pedestrians. This is a fundamental human-centered guiding principle in the formulation of traffic regulations.
Traffic accidents in Spain are categorized into four levels: light, serious, severe, and extremely severe. The corresponding fines are 91 euros, 92 to 301 euros, 302 to 602 euros, and over 1500 euros. The Directorate-General for Traffic, under the Ministry of the Interior, and some regional traffic authorities are responsible for interpreting traffic regulations and handling traffic accidents, with enforcement carried out by the Civil Guard police. After a traffic accident occurs between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles or pedestrians, the police determine liability, while insurance companies are responsible for economic compensation. The specific details are very complex, and only professionals can clarify them.
Spanish traffic law stipulates that purchasing a vehicle requires insurance; otherwise, the vehicle cannot be driven on the road. The annual insurance policy must be carried in the vehicle for police inspection. There are three types of insurance: basic insurance, dual insurance, and third-party liability insurance, from which vehicle owners can choose freely.
