    Driving In Spain? What You Need To Know

    Hiring a car when going on vacation is the new normal for those who want to explore. Driving in Spain may conjure images of driving recklessness, as often the rules of the road in another country are misconstrued as dangerous driving! The one thing that you need to know about driving in Spain or on the Spanish islands, is that the scenery is spectacular. Of course, while you drive you won’t be seeing too much of it, but the point is that the scenery is there and it’s able to be seen due to the lack of congestion on the road.

    You may find it very different to where you are used to driving, with some drivers pulling ahead without indicating being quite common, if illegal. The thing is, in Spain you won’t find road rage, which is a vast improvement and can make your vacation all the better. In all seriousness, if you are going to consider driving in Spain while on vacation, you do need to be aware of the rules of the road in a country foreign to your own. You need to be prepared, and you need to follow the tips below:

    • Right-Hand Drive. In Spain, they drive on the right side of the road. For those conditioned to drive on the left, it’s always a little bit of a shock! It can take one little lapse in concentration, one moment of forgetfulness to really ruin a vacation.
    • Headlights. The rules of the road will differ country to country, but don’t be alarmed if you see people flashing their lights at you – in Spain, they do this before overtaking to let you know they are about to. It’s the law there, and understanding the laws is important before you go.
    • Indicate. Spanish authorities are cracking down on those who do not indicate or cross lanes appropriately. Never cross a white line unless it is broken – solid lines are a big no. Always indicate when you pull out and back in again so people know where you are going.
    • Speed. Always know your speed limits wherever you go. The current limit in Spanish towns is 50km/h and when you are out on the open road, it is 90km/h. Limits can vary road to road so it is important to keep an eye on signage when plotting your journey.
    • Drink Driving. As with anywhere, you can face incarceration for drink driving. Careful driving wherever you go is always a must, but if you ever find yourself in trouble abroad then speaking to Parks & Braxton for legal advice is a smart choice to have on your speed dial. Ignorance on the law is not an excuse, and if you have driven for more than two years you could allow yourself one small beer. Anything less than that, and it’s best to avoid altogether.
    • Luggage. In Spain, there are certain rules you must follow and having a warning triangle, first aid kit, your documents and a visibility vest are a must. Your hire car should have these items but if not, you can purchase these at the airport.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
