As we remember days, and echoing the notice of the General Directorate of Traffic, where he shared a reminder of the places and situations in which overtaking is prohibited, it is worth mentioning that there are other situations that can also fine us, when the case, but there has to be a particular circumstance. We are talking about quickly overtaking a Civil Guard car.
You can act on speeding, but…
We know that in the case of a stop, the Civil Guard can ask us to stop our vehicle when we are in circulation, a request that entails a series of actions that not everyone knows about.
For this reason, the DGT road body usually reminds us, too, how we can act in the event that a Civil Guard patrol fines us for overtaking it. That is to say; Can they fine us if we quickly overtake a vehicle belonging to the meritorious? Yes and no, let’s explain it.
And it is that excessive or inappropriate speed continues to be one of the main causes of road accidents, estimating that it can reach up to 29% of fatal accidents on interurban roads. Enforcement of speed limits could prevent the deaths of at least 350 people a year. However; we have to keep an eye
what has to be given
As such, we should know that his division is dedicated to road supervision , who has the authority to impose traffic tickets. Although they can cover any type of infraction, many are related to circulation with an expired, unfavorable or, directly, negative ITV.
Beyond driving correctly, and not committing any imprudence behind the wheel, it is important that we keep your vehicle in good condition and that you have all the procedures up to date.
In the same way, it should be known that with the entry into force last year of the new Traffic Law, among its regulations is one that focuses on protecting vulnerable users (pedestrians, cyclists and motorists) and reducing accidents. road on two-way highways.
The latter, if any, are the ones that account for the majority of fatalities in traffic accidents. The DGT remembered it a few days ago, while mentioning that if we come across a Civil Guard car and we pass it, we can get a fine… as long as the patrol car has radar ; if you don’t have it, you can’t do it.
The double photo is vital
Or what is the same; beyond the fact that we must obligatorily respect the speed on the road, in case we exceed it and overtake a Civil Guard car, it can only fine us if it has a radar on it.
In this way, and as in other circumstances, for a speed complaint to be valid , it must be accompanied by a photo in the case of mobile radars and two photos in the case of fixed ones , a general shot of the car and a second detail photo of the license plate. Both must have the time, to be able to appreciate the passage of time and that two measurements have actually been made, as required by current regulations.
Few Spanish drivers have never been fined for breaking speed limits, whether on urban roads, cross-country roads, conventional roads, dual carriageways or motorways. As you know, excessive or inappropriate speed is one of the main risk factors on the road, where non-compliance with speed limits is classified as a serious or very serious offense , depending on the type of road, the road limit and the speeding committed. Economic sanctions range between 100 and 600 euros depending on the excess and the limit.
