It's really strange to drive here. I drove 170 on the fast lane and no one overtook me.

QEEQ User

They all speed up crazily where there are no detectors. They drive at least 140 in areas where the speed limit is 120.

QEEQ User

Are you occupying the fast lane? Don't speed up, I've been fined three times already, I don't know if it's finished. Expensive indeed.

QEEQ User

I'm afraid you may have violated the traffic rules.

QEEQ User

Fast lane on the left, slow lane on the right.

QEEQ User

It should be because you drive too slow.

QEEQ User

I estimate that you have occupied the leftmost lane for a long time.

QEEQ User

Because the left lane is called the passing lane, it is not meant to be occupied for regular driving.

Buy a card locally, Google Maps is much more convenient. It's not very accurate, and there are many gaps in the road when walking on the Spanish road. It's not an easy walk. The navigation must be powerful. It's best to find a partner to help look at how to go, especially at night when driving on the highway. Pay attention to the speed limit signs. When there is a speed limit, you must slow down. There are no streetlights on the road ? Spain Q&A

Seek advice from friends in the group, I received a fine for driving in Spain, and the rental car company notified me by email. I missed the online payment deadline because I checked the email late. I asked the car rental company and they replied that they couldn't arrange the payment for the fine at the moment. They said I have to wait for the fine to be sent to my home, and then they will help me arrange the payment again. I'm a bit confused about this operation because I have already returned to my country. Can the fine be sent to me? If I keep not receiving it and can't pay, will it affect my future visa application or entry into Europe ? Spain Q&A

Drive for 2 days in Spain. Total 4 days. My credit card has been charged by Avis car rental for several months after I returned the car. Each time it's basically more than 40 euros. Could I have broken the law so many times while driving for 2 days? I can't believe it. I have paid for 3 months in a row, each time more than 40 euros. I'm crying. I drove very steadily on the road, an old driver for many years, and it's impossible for me to break the law so many times. Moreover, I have not received any violation records through email or regular mail. What's going on? I need an explanation ? Spain Q&A
