[Varche]

Got my registered post notification of "not stopping at give way" back on 29th Oct - the day my gearbox expired. I remember driving along keeping the steady progress on country roads as the drive was slipping particularly setting off. I remember the junction. Huge open road with good visibility and no other traffic.

Further on there was a battalion of police and cars and pulled over motorists and overhead a helicopter which I then suspected was helping pull over speeding motorists. Of course in hindsight it was just a high profile exercise in "doing a bunch of people" me included. Fair enough I will pay the 150 euros or whatever fine and get penalty points. Funny thing is that I normally stop at every junction as you can't afford to be in an accident as an Expat!

I just wish that Spain would use some high tech on dragging itself into the first world instead of having electric supplies that go off at the drop of a hat and so on.

That's cr@p!!  

You shouldn't get done if it's just a give way...

I thought you only had to give way not stop?

spanish road laws are different to uk, think they are supposed to stop at both. unless im wrong..

Why's it called a give way if you have to stop?  Surely they should all be called stops...
