I am a lawyer and, like you who read me now, I also drive.
Traffic accidents were bad news again last parties.
And the new Law 18/2021 amending the Traffic Law, Circulation of Motor Vehicles and Road Safety comes to reduce accidents. In force on March 22 although there are applicable precepts from December 23.
As lawyer and mediator accredited by Ministry of Justice, of injured from traffic accidents , Member of the directory of the DIA Association of Traffic Accident Victims, I advise you to be very careful when driving and… to the handlebar.
The new law punishes distraction for having the mobile in hand while driving. 6 points less than the card plus 200 euros fine.
And although the car does not start or does not stop beeping if we forget to put on the seat belt, I can lose 4 points and another 200 euros of fine will disappear from the account. Not just the belt, the helmet, the child's seat ... or if it is not used correctly.
Poorly fitted helmet?… lose points and have a fine
More placed chair?... goodbye points and euros
Every year I have very sad cases of injured cyclists in my office, rolled over, but luckily they have been able to tell what happened.
“If 30 years ago when you work like lawyer in an insurance company were sad accidents in which cyclists were the victims, according today's date it continues to be an endless reality.”

With the new law, if you have to overtake 1 or more cyclists, it will be MANDATORY, on roads with more than one lane in each direction, CHANGE LANES to allow more lateral space.
And if you pass other vehicles, do not forget not to exceed the maximum speed limits on conventional roads by 20 km per hour.. If overtaking is bad ... goodbye to 5 points. And ... another 200 eur fine.
“It would be a good exercise to start putting into practice and get used to these modifications.“
Abel Molina Iniesta, lawyer and mediator accredited by Ministry of Justice,
These past Christmas days I have seen a pack of cigarettes thrown from a truck. Hit my windshield. It was empty, it's cardboard, there was no danger but ... the noise of the impact on my windshield surprised me.
That impact can be scary, to swerve ... or if it is another heavier or more rigid object, cause a misfortune.
Didn't you see the car in front throw things out the window?
Welcome the 6 point withdrawal even if they throw a cigarette butt ...
The alcohol and / or drugs on the road ... a scourge that can have criminal consequences. Now even a person under 18 on a scooter, bike ... you will not be able to circulate a taxa of alcohol higher than zero.
Remember that the expired air limits for the rest of the conductors is 0,15 and 0,25. And always from 0,6 it is already a crime involving, inevitably, the withdrawal of the license.
0,00 alcohol, drugs
The law also modifies and introduces new requirements.
For example:
To recover points, two years will have to pass without committing infractions.
And if you take a road safety course you will recover 2 points.
New demands on wireless communication devices commonly used by motorcyclists.
And pay close attention to foreigners if they enter a town without respecting low emissions, because although it will not subtract points, it is considered a serious offense with a penalty of 200 eur.
Hopefully this law for the safety of all can reduce to 0,00 the atrocities that all@s we see on public roads.
Thanks for reading.
