This leaves all neighbors whose cars do not have stickers and are registered outside the city of Granada.

To clarify the whole matter, we collect all cases and exceptions. Granada Zbe Map.

Likewise, it has specified that It is not necessary to carry the DGT sticker Put on the windshield since the record is telematic. Who can happen? In this case, simple: all cars registered in the city of Granada. There is no environmental label discrimination in this case. If the car is registered in Granada, its driver can circulate wherever and time he wants.

A very high percentage of fines that are used in Madrid for the Zbe end up annulled: two reasons explain it

by

The courts 558 sanctions have lying imposed by the Madrid City Council in its low -broadcast areas. The figure represents 97% success in the judicial resources presented by conductors through the platform provided by the dove. Since the Justice of Madrid annulled several of the articles From the Sustainable Mobility Ordinance in 2024, the legality of the Fines System of the Zbe of the capital is questioned. Judicial failure. Only in 2025, the Consistory has accumulated 383 unfavorable sentencesof which 224 included condemnation in procedural coasts, which represents almost 60% of cases. Of all cancellations, 60% corresponds to the Centro District ZBE, 25% to Madrid Zbe and 15% to Elliptical Plaza. Each of these sanctions has a minimum amount of 200 euros. Two reasons. Courts support their decisions on two legal pillars. First, the City Council does not comply with article 242 of the Sustainable Mobility Ordinance, which requires “documenting the installation of visible informative posters that warn about the collection of data or images for access control.” In no case, the Consistory has been able to demonstrate the existence of such regulatory signage, which has caused the cancellation of sanctions. The cancellation of the legal framework. THE SECOND Pilar: The Superior Court of Justice of Madrid annulled The part of the Mobility Ordinance relative to the ZBE, leaving without legal base all the sanctions issued under that regulatory framework. This nullity assumes that the fines lack legal basis by being supported by a regulation canceled by the courts. Despite this, the Madrid City Council He has resorted This decision and continues to sanction. A fundamental fund machine. Madrid foresee Collect this year more than 208 million euros in traffic fines, of which approximately 110 million come from the ZBE. This means that more than half of the proceeds in fines by the Madrid town hall comes from the sanctions in these areas. The figure makes Madrid the Spanish city that enters the most for this concept, raising 3.5 times more That Barcelona, ​​the second on the list. Of the ten cities with the largest population in Spain, Madrid is the most fine. “I despise for legality.” Pedro Javaloyes, Dvuelta spokesman, affirms that this implies “the contempt for the legality and rights of citizens by the Consistory.” “The courts are stopping the city council systematically for the massive and unjustified use of Zbe fines,” he adds. “Not only is there a normative abuse: there is a clear collection intention, at the expense of the drivers, that justice is dismantling sentence.” It is worth resorting to fines. Resorting to these sanctions is becoming what Javaloyes define as “a civic reaction” that “balances the balance between an administration that tends to turn the fine into a collection instrument and a citizen who, otherwise, would be helpless,” he said. For its part, the Madrid town hall assures that Zbe are necessary to meet the air quality objectives. Also remember that the cancellation of the TSJM It is appealedso until the Supreme Court does not apply any other action, the fines will continue.

Someone has made a ranking with the greatest fines in the history of Spain and an old suspect is in the lead: Ryanair

by

The fine imposed by the Government of Spain to Ryanair is the highest in the history of our country. The more than 100 million euros of sanction exceed all the records we had until a few months ago. To get an idea, the highest fine until then was just over three million euros. These are the most large fines and the companies that have received them. The highest. Without any discussion and without competitors. Ryanair received a sanction of 107.78 million euros last November 2024 on the occasion of his hand luggage policy. The sanction did not arrive alone and also punished Vueling (almost 40 million euros) and Easyjet (almost 30 million euros) for the same issue. However, Ryanair’s traffic volume is so high That by punishing the same fact repeatedly, the economic amount for the company is very high. So much so that, as we see, the two companies that accompanied him in it were well below the punishment to the Irish airline. Unprecedented. The list with the 15 toughest fines imposed by Spanish entities to companies operating in our country has collected Facua. This classification shows how, before the sanction to the airlines, the toughest fine had been for Unicaja and had stayed at 3.17 million euros. At that time, the Junta de Andalucía punished Unicaja in a package that extended to other banks that had imposed land clauses to their customers in mortgages. Rapier It was considered abusivehe entailed a very small fine with Ryanair’s. Despite being the first until very recently, Ryanair’s fine is 3,400%. Who appears? In addition to the aforementioned airlines, Norweigan was also part of that package and slipped between the 10 largest sanctions in our country. In between, Movistar (receivable in the time of the calls), CaixaBank (soil clauses), Vodafone (seven fraud among which is the deceptive advertising) and Endesa (for applying illegal rates for the rental of their light counters). It should be noted that, in addition, Movistar is the company that repeats the most in the ranking, adding up to three fines, the aforementioned and two other sanctions worth 1.53 million euros. Vodafone also repeats with a second fine of 1.19 million euros. Volotea, the fifth and final sanctioned airline, also appears here with a fine of 1.4 million. Banco Mare Nostrum (BNM) and Caja Rural de Granada are two other financial entities that close the breakdown. Has there been any consequence? Yes, although Ryanair has camouflaged him In response to rates, supposedly abusivefrom Aena at airports. Its response has been the abandonment or partial exit of some regional airports. A change of strategy propitious to the company And that, in addition, it has served to press the government, aware of the importance of these spaces. While Ryanair has been winning passengers in Spain, now he faces new fines. Some of the routes survived by the commercial agreements that Ryanair maintained with municipalities and other entities for advertising that acted as Covering line of the line. That has caused the complaint of, among others, The Mayor’s Office. Who is right? It remains to be seen. At the moment, the sanction is imposed but in Spain justice has proved both to the government and the company Despite judging the same fact: the possibility or not of Ryanair to charge for hand luggage. Until now, aerial regulations force airlines to let a lump pass that allows the “essential” to transfer. That, according to the government, cannot enter the brief measures that The company applies. Ryanair alleges otherwise And emphasize that there is no paper that proves the minimum size that the backpack has to have. The latest changes. Everything indicates that Europe is going to put on the side of Ryanair. The institutions are advancing in a new regulation to fly in which you want to stipulate a minimum measure for cabin luggage. This is slightly higher than that forced by Ryanair and The company has already made the changes to adapt to the regulations. It remains to be seen, to leave that new regulation ahead, the company would end up claiming Spain the money of the large fine with which it has punished it. This listing list shown can completely change if your claims get ahead.

Ryanair does not want indisciplined passengers. And besides leading them to trial, they will put their own fines

by

Ryanair will apply a penalty of 500 euros to any passenger expelled from a flight for misconduct before takeoff. The measure seeks to be a deterrent element in the face of behaviors that interrupt the trip of the rest of the passengers and compromise security. An airline spokesman He explained that “it is unacceptable that passengers suffer unnecessary interruptions by the behavior of a single disruptive passenger.” The fine cannot be specified as such, so it is presented as the most expensive complementary rate of Ryanair. In detail. The Data from the European Union Air Security Agency They say that the safety of a flight is compromised every three hours for the bad behavior of a passenger. In addition, 70% of these cases involve some kind of aggression. Yes, but. The 500 euros are just the beginning. If there is a diversion of the flight because of the passenger, the demands shoot because Ryanair has an active legal persecution policy to recover all the associated costs: Extra fuel. Landing rates. Accommodation for the rest of the travelers in an extreme case. Replacement crew. Even on -board sales. And that persecution translates into concrete demands that go beyond 500 euros: The background. Michael O’Leary, CEO of the airline, already warned at the time about the increase in altercations on board, especially on routes to holiday destinations. In fact, proposed to limit alcohol consumption In airports to two drinks per boarding cards. The measure of their own fines as extra rates, in addition to the subsequent legal persecution, is the definition of a problem that affects the entire industry and that even affects travelers of other flights, which see the “delayed” poster appear because of the energumenos.

a month to present changes to their “false discounts” or risk fines

The relief that Shein has achieved in the United States thanks to the Temporary Tariff reduction Contrast with the new front that opens in Europe. The European Commission and the Cooperation Network for Consumer Protection (CPC), which brings together the national authorities of the Member States, They have notified to the electronic commerce platform that several of its practices vulnea community legislation. Now he has a month to respond and avoid possible coercive measures. According to the official statement of the commissionThe notification is the result of an investigation coordinated by the authorities of Belgium, France, Ireland and the Netherlands. The CPC network It accuses Shein of applying tactics that directly affect consumer rights within the single market. What practices Brussels questions The file open to Shein lists a series of infractions related to the way in which its platform operates and communicates commercial information to consumers: False discounts: Price reductions that are not based on real prices are shown. Pressure tactics to buy: Use of techniques to push the user to finish the purchase. Lack of information or deceptive data: On the legal rights of return and reimbursement, or the way in which they are managed. Deceptive labels: products that appear to have special characteristics when in reality these are minimal legal requirements. Doubtive sustainability promises: Incomplete or false information about the environmental benefits of certain products. Contact difficulties: absence of clear and accessible channels to raise doubts or claims. Brussels is not limited to an informal warning. The notification requires concrete commitments. If in the next 30 days Shein does not respond properly, the national authorities may apply sanctions. Among them, the possibility of imposing fines proportional to its volume of business in each affected country is contemplated. This procedure adds to the ongoing investigation that the Commission itself maintains under the Digital Services Law (DSA). Shein was designated in April 2024 as a “Very large online platform”(Vlop, Vary Large Online Platform), which forces it to meet the strictest requirements in systemic risks, illegal content control and algorithmic transparency. The pressure not only comes from Brussels. Italy’s competence authority has started a procedurealso focused on the company’s commercial practices. In parallel, the Commission has made it clear that these actions do not interfere or limit other possible measures under product safety or data protection. In response to notification, a Shein spokesman declared the Wall Street Journal that The company is actively cooperating with the authorities. “Our priority remains to ensure that European consumers can enjoy an online purchase experience safe, reliable and pleasant”, Said. Shein, as we say, now has 30 days to present his commitments.

European car manufacturers faced milmillionaire fines in 2025. They have postponed them thanks to fear

by

It was known since 2019 but this 2025 will not be applied. The new broadcasting regulations of the European Union for Tourism is suspended … until 2027 and with nuances. After months of pressures by the manufacturers, European institutions have allowed a forward kick that softens in the background but not in the forms the restrictions on combustion cars. This is all we have ahead. Since 2019. It was called European green pact and, in fact, it established more hard emission limits of those established for manufacturers at the moment. Then there was talk of limiting the maximum emissions to 80.8 gr/km of CO2. The most ambitious objective raises zero emissions in every car sold from 2035 with combustion engines. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than the announcing Over the years, the limit rose and It ended up setting 93.6 gr/km of CO2. With a strong fine flying over, manufacturers should not be able to pass from this year this emission limits. A barrier imposed until 2029. From then on the figure will be (or should be) of 49.5 gr/km of CO2. And they should only be able to sell neutral cars from 2035. The fine. It has been the main reason for concern for manufacturers. To calculate it, the average emissions of the car fleet sold were taken into account. This average should not exceed 93.6 gr/km of CO2. If so, the fine could be a thousand millionaire. Specifically, the manufacturer had to pay 95 euros for each gr/km of CO2 surpassed… for each car sold. That is to say. If the average emissions of the cars sold was 94.6 gr/km of CO2 (+1 gr/km of CO2 above the expected) the manufacturer paid 95 euros per car. If you sold a million cars in Europe, you would have to pay 95 million euros. This was a real problem for companies such as Volkswagen, Ford, Stellantis, Renault and even Toyota. All these automobile groups, in the first half of 2024, exceeded 100 gr/km of CO2. That multiplied the sanction for each car in a minimum of 665 euros. According to data collected by Motor.esIn Volkswagen, fines were waiting for 1,500 and 4,700 million euros. And the machinery began to work. Before the imminent abyss, the manufacturers launched the fan. They talked about unrealistic measures and From Acea (Employers of manufacturers in Europe) They pointed out that up to 16,000 million euros were compromised. A strong blow to the finances of some European manufacturers trying to find solutions before the arrival of new Chinese cars that are eating land in the Low and plug -in ranges. As if that were not enough, they warned what they were coming: more expensive cars. First because the development of the cars was going to be more expensive. Second because lower ranges cars They had it more complicated, then electrify them, They said, destroy the profit margin. And, third, because if they could not sell combustion cars so as not to affect the average emissions they would have to smaller of them at a higher price. It was already known. Which The European Parliament has voted (With 458 votes in favor, 101 against and 14 abstentions) it was already known. It has been the confirmation of something that was put on the table last March. Then the European Commission has already voted in favor of a FLEXIBILIZATION IN THE REGULATIONS of emissions. A kind of kick to the regulations. Until 2027 they will not have to meet manufacturers, although the matter has some nuances. What has been approved? A change, as we said, in the form but not in the background. 93.6 gr/km of CO2 are maintained but manufacturers have between 2025 and 2027 to meet. Arrived 2027, an average will be made with the emissions sold since this year. That is, manufacturers will have to compensate for 2025 excesses during the coming years. A manufacturer will not receive a fine if it passes at 10 gr/km of CO2 this 2025 but in 2026 and 2027 it will have to compensate it. You may choose to reduce emissions in five grams per kilometer below the regulations in 2026 and 2027 or accumulate the excesses of 2025 and 2026 and sell well below those 93.6 gr/km of CO2 last year. An exit. What options have a manufacturer that does not reach these emission stockings? The simplest to avoid fines is to make a group against Europe with companies that are well below the limit. Which is it? Manufacturers such as Tesla, which obviously have very low emissions by selling exclusive electric cars, or byd that only sells plug -in cars. This alternative was already considered by 2025. It will be essential for small brands with very little electrification, Like Mazdabut the door opens to that groups like Stellantis, who also contemplated an associationhave time to sell enough plugs to compensate for emissions or, in the worst case, buy less bonds than those raised in 2025. What do we expect? A gradual increase in the sales of plug -in (hybrid and electric) and an acceleration for 2027. If it is necessary with automation to reduce registered emissions, it will be done with automation. That if the regulations are maintained and nothing changes. Who wins? The flexibility in the regulations is an oxygen ball for some manufacturers. Renault, for example, is in the middle of the launch of the Renault 5a car that It is working very well and that will allow you to lower emissions. Has put the market on the market Renault 4 And soon he will have a Berlina. Volkswagen, has a way 25,000 euros electric car For the coming months and another of 20,000 euros (although it points to 2027) And the group has reached options to Skoda either Cupra They can give good results. It is also facing a good Mercedes opportunity that has the car with which They hope to make a leap in the sales volume. Of … Read more

The April Fair has served for years for people to record drunken people. There is a problem: fines

by

The April Fair from Seville it is usually synonymous with party, music, dance, rebujito, costumes and fun, but also of another trend that It has been worrying time to the Audiovisual Council of Andalusia (Fall): The #Papagorda. That said hashtag may not tell you much (or yes), but if you usually move by X, Instagram, YouTube or especially Tiktok it is likely that its content is familiar to you. Basically it consists of the publication of photos and videos of people in more or less pregnant situations after having passed with the glasses. What has been a good #Papagorda. The trend arose in 2019, during the Seville Fair, and since then it has generated a huge amount of material that circulates through the networks. The problem, like It has just recoded the caais that that can have legal consequences. Who is not going to like a good #Papagorda? The trend is not new. Your hashtag neither. Before even pandemic, during The 2019 Seville Fairbegan to circulate on Twitter (now x) a label that accompanied photos and videos that show people with one (or several) more glasses. Which? #Papagorda. The concept and the trend triumphed and since then they have been replicating year after years. During the April 2022 fair the hashtag #Papagorda22 was popular, the following year was #Papagorda23 and so on until reaching the current #Papagorda25. And what is the problem? That as the CAA remembered A report Published in 2024 the intention of these videos and images is to “mock” its protagonists, which is often recorded without their consent. And that is a problem. So much that the CAA already launched in July 2024 A warning On the legal implications of sharing that kind of material in networks and has done it again Now taking advantage The beginning of the Seville Fair. In A statement Rotundo The organism warns that moving funny and sharing certain content can leave expensive to its authors, carrying legal responsibilities and fines. Why’s that? Because one thing is that the involved is recorded and then upload the video to Tiktok (or allow others to do) and another very different is to act behind them. “The use of networks for the distribution of videos of anonymous people recorded in a drunkenness or similar without their consent, on the occasion of different celebrations, can constitute an illegitimate interference in their rights to honor, intimacy and the image itself with the legal consequences that it can entail,” argues. Is it just a warning? No. The Audiovisual Council goes further and remembers a pair of key data. First, that these rights are recognized and covered by the Article 18.1 of the Constitution and regulate in the Organic Law 1/1982which details when you can speak of “illegitimate interference” in the honor and intimacy of a person. Second, that in Spain there is already at least one precedent, a sentence that gave the reason to the affected and derived a considerable fine. “There is already the precedent of a sanction of 10,000 eurosimposed by the Spain data protection agency (AEPD), for the mass dissemination on social networks of a recorded video without consent where a person who was on public roads appears in a state of drunkenness ” remember. On that occasion the video was recorded by a stranger who was in his car and he can identify the protagonist, who was supported by a paper to maintain balance. But is it so serious? Yes. Or at least so suggest The report Published last year by the CAA, dedicated precisely to “the dissemination of videos of drunk people at the Seville Fair or other mass holidays.” Perhaps who records (and shares) the images seems an innocent joke, but The Council warns than the Hashatg #Papagorda has ended up gaining amazing public relevance. After sweeping by Google and several social networks focus especially on terms related to drunkenness and fairs, CAA has achieved figures that reveal its scope. How relevant? “Searches have been made on Google and in the internal search engines of Tiktok, X, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Tiktok has been one of the most used platforms for the dissemination of content with #Papagorda24 during the Seville 2024 In total. This hashtag was the 16th with more traffic in Spain as of April 2024 “, Add the CAAwhich notes that its impact on X or Tiktok has come accompanied by a “growing disapproval” by users. That’s all? No. The CAA slides also an important reflection. The problem is not just that images of drunk people are recorded and disseminated without their consent to make fun of it. The fact of sharing that material in networks also makes the final impact and the route of the videos uncontrollable. In fact, the Council recalls that the hashtag have become “viral” and have ended up attracting even media attention. “It is evident that, with the distribution of these short videos without consent, the fundamental rights of the people who appear can be violated. In addition, this risk is increased since they are distributed by platforms, with the multiplier effect of these,” ditch.

The price of eggs has shot and having an own chicken coop seems attractive. But there are fines of up to 3,000 euros

by

2025 is the year of Trump’s return to the White House, that of the negotiations on Ukraine, the Rearm of Europe, The tariffs and the distancing from Brussels and Washington. And against all prognosis 2025 it is also being the year of the Egg crisis. Literally. Good The US knowsplunged into a deep “ovoflation”but also Spainwhere in a short time the eggs have increased more than 20%. Thus, many households, especially in the rural, can think of mount To self -abuse. It is not new or that has been done before in Spain. Of course, since 2024 more than chickens, grain and desire to have a domestic chicken coop is needed. If we want to save a fine, it is also necessary to fulfill certain procedures. Issue of laws (and fines). That we lead all our lives seeing homemade pens in the villages, mounted on farms or courtyards with a few laying chickens, it does not mean that there is no law that regulates them. In July 2021 it was approved A Royal Decree which establishes certain “basic standards” to “order” poultry farms. And although it does not focus exclusively on “self -consumption” farms, it includes certain guidelines that its owners must respect. If you have a chicken coop or even a small homemade corral you should know the decree. Especially because, although The text It is 2021, part of its rules on safety, hygiene and equipment did not begin to apply until relatively recently: on January 1, 2024, when the moratorium enjoyed by the farms that already existed. And what does the decree say? One of the most relevant points for domestic farms is the one collected in article 16.5, which Specifies: “The holders of self -consumption farms will be obliged to carry out prior communication so that they are included in the General Registry of Livestock Explodes.” The “self -consumption” nuance is important because The law also define clearly what requirements they must meet to be: not exceed a maximum number of birds or selling anything they produce. Neither young nor meat nor eggs. In case they would go to the category of “reduced exploitation”. The requirement for home pens is less strict than the one applied to the rest of the farms, which before registering is required an authorization that accredits that they meet all the norms; But that does not mean that chickens for self -supply can do whatever they want. They must register. And among other issues are obliged to identify a reference veterinarian. Question of eggs euros. Laws usually carry sanctions for those who break them. AND The 2021 decree About poultry farms is no exception. In the norm, no sanctions are specified in euros, but the corpus of laws to which the authorities will resort to an infraction does refer. In the case at hand, that of not registering a corral, the reference is the Animal Health Law of 2003in which it is identified as a mild infraction not to communicate to the authorities the births or entries of animals of an exploitation. And how much does that mean? A good pinch. The sanction can go from 600 to 3,000 euros, everything depends on the circumstances of each case and aggravating as recidivism. The law also allows infractions to settle with a simple “warning”, although exceptionally. “It will only be imposed if there was no intent and in the last two years the person in charge would not have been sanctioned (…) for the commission of any other violation of the planned,” Clarify. But … Is it a new standard? Not quite. In fact it has been feeling its effect in different regions of Spain for a few months. A year ago for example The voice of Galicia explained that the new requirement had left “an avalanche” of applications in the offices of the Department of Rural Environment, where they already accounted for 40,700 self -consumption chickens. The high ones do not respond only to the fear of fines. Without the process, Corrales owners were already They couldn’t buy New offspring for its farms. In other regions the norm had a scope much more limited. The eggs, under the focus. That the Royal Decree of 2021 is news is now explained for a simple reason: the eggs have become considerably more expensive in recent weeks. In a scenario marked by the increase in demand and the costs and ghost of the avian flu that hits the United States, the Ministry of Agriculture calculates that its price at origin has risen 30% In just one year. So far from 2025 the increases have been, depending on the type of product, between 11 and 18%, with increases especially pronounced in the last month. The OCU estimates that “a dozen medium eggs now costs 25% more than a month ago.” Specifically, it calculates that the price of M Eggs M have risen 25.2% if they are compared to the data of April 2024. It also agrees that the rise has been more marked the last two weeks. Looking for the causes. OCU is not limited only to Identify ups Price, which move between 25% of the M Eggs and 15.4% year -on -year of the L. have also investigated the causes of that increase, a sum of “several factors” among which includes the rise in prices at origin, the US crisis by avian flu, an increase in production controls and “collective psychosis.” “The videos, information in networks … of individuals talking about the price increase and comparing what the eggs cost the eggs creates an environment in which we all expect that ‘crisis’”, Reason the organization of consumers, which warns about the possible “speculation.” With that backdrop in the US there are even those who have opted for rent chickens and self -abuse. In Spain, having its own domestic corral is not such a strange option, especially in the rural, but that: to avoid scares (and fines) it is convenient to know the law and … Read more

0.2 g/l in blood and fines of 1,000 euros

by

Congress has taken a key step to harden alcohol restrictions at the wheel in Spain. The lower house has taken into consideration A proposition of the law of the PSOE not only reduce the maximum alcohol rate in blood at 0.2 g/l but also prohibit the dissemination of police controls on social networks. The text has advanced with a single vote against Vox and the abstention of the PP. The current limits in Spain. The breathalyzer rate measures the blood alcohol level and is expressed in grams per liter of blood (g/l) or in milligrams per liter of exhaled air (mg/l). According to the DGTthe current legal limit is 0.5 g/l in blood and 0.25 mg/l in exhaled air for drivers in general. However, novels and professionals have more severe restrictions: 0.3 g/l in blood and 0.15 mg/l in exhaled air. What does the initiative say. The proposition of the PSOE unifies rates for all drivers, regardless of their age or permission. Thus, consider as severe infraction driving with alcohol rates greater than 0.2 g/l in blood or 0.1 mg/l in exhaled air. These are “some measures whose objective is to ‘put a brake’ to a dramatic reality that, year after year, leaves behind a trail of avoidable deaths,” The parliamentary group has said. The text establishes The following infractions scheme points that “the infractions provided for in article 77c) when the alcohol rate exceeds 0.5 milligrams per liter of exhaled air or 1 grams per liter in blood, yd) will be sanctioned with a fine of 1,000 euros”. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.1 to 0.25 mg/0.2 to 0.5 g/l: Loss of 2 points of the card. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.25 to 0.50 mg/0.5 up to 1.0 g/l: loss of 4 points of the card. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.5 mg/lo 1.0 g/l: loss of 6 points of the card. With the proposed limit, a beer could already mark positive. The Ministry of Health points out that the liver can only metabolize 0.12 g/l of blood alcohol every hour. Therefore, if the new limits are applied, drinking a third of beer could cause an breathalyzer control to be overcome if the necessary time of metabolization has not passed, which is usually 1 hour and 45 minutes in men and 2 hours and 50 minutes in women. What do studies say? The promoters of the proposition have provided data from the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences. According to the agency, 33% of the drivers who died in traffic accidents had alcohol in blood. Also 29% of pedestrians who died on Spanish roads had consumed alcohol or drugs. In addition, the State Attorney General’s Office indicates that in 2023 more than 50,000 criminal convictions were registered for driving with an alcohol rate higher than permitted. But there is more. As we indicated above, it is also sought to prohibit the dissemination of the location of alcohol and drug controls in social networks. In this case, the objective is to prevent mobiles from being used “as an instrument to protect the impunity of a minority of dangerous and contumaces.” It is a problem that has been staging for some time and has become a true headache for the DGT. The process is still underway. Taking into consideration of the proposition of the PSOE law is an advance, but does not mean its approval. We will have to wait for the next plenary to know if the reduction of the alcohol rate will obtain its definitive ratification.

It is not necessary to blow so that the DGT knows if you have drunk. And nothing has to do with new devices, fines or breathalyzer rates

Alcohol behind the wheel has become one of the great conversation issues of recent times in mobility in Spain. Since the DGT announced that it wants to change the maximum permitted rates at the wheel, the Internet and social networks have been filled with articles with supposed changes in this regard. The reality: everything remains the same. An intention. At the moment, that’s the only thing we have. The maximum alcohol rate allowed at the wheel remains the same as always despite the DGT and the Interior Ministry They have been favorable to a reduction of these rates until the consumption of a beer is impracticable if we are going to put ourselves behind the wheel. With the changes, the DGT wants to punish alcohol consumption if it is conducted. In his own words, You can’t do it with a 0.0 rate because it can generate some judicial conflicts in very rare cases but in practice you cannot drink. What is applied right now? What is currently applied is, in general, a Maximum alcohol rate of 0.5 gr/L of alcohol in exhaled air or 0.25 mg/l of blood alcohol. Overcoming these margins can mean a fine of up to 1,000 euros If we are repeat offenders and will subtract six points in the driving card. What do you want to approve? The intention is lower the maximum limit allowed to 0.20 gr/L of blood alcohol. According to the data provided by DGT itself, a driver could barely take a cane before putting behind the wheel. On average, a woman would have impossible to combine the steering wheel and the drink of alcohol, however small. Is there any change? No, none. AND Nor is there a clear date When this measure will be approved or, even, if approved. At the moment we talk about intentions that need to pass the approval of the Congress of Deputies as it forces to change the GENERAL CIRCULATION REGULATION and the Traffic LawMotor vehicles and road safety. Source: DGT Nor in ethylometers? No, either. In recent days, information that speaks of new devices capable of detecting a positive without blowing have been popularized. These devices have been called proximity alcoholic and, as reflected in some publications, do not need the driver to blow. These supposed new ethylometers are used by the Civil Guard to expedite traffic in the controls. They ensure that just by bringing it to the mouth you can check whether a driver driver or not. In case of positive, the driver has to submit to blood tests to confirm the sanction. It’s true? As almost always, yes and no. Indeed, This way of proceeding exists But from the DGT they make it clear that Nothing has changed. It is working as it had been doing so far with the same as always. That is, we will have to blow if we reach an breathalyzer control. As they assure us from traffic, these alcoholic have a proximity function that is applied in very specific cases, such as a respiratory disease. Only in an assumption of this type is activated and, subsequently, is certified with the blood analysis if a positive occurs. In Xataka we have also contacted the Civil Guard to confirm if something has changed in its way of acting but at the time of writing these lines we have not obtained an answer.
