DGT's smart speed cameras: all the traffic violations they can now detect
The Spanish Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) is reinforcing its surveillance systems with increasingly advanced technology. Although many speak of “speed cameras that monitor everything,” the reality is somewhat more nuanced: it is not a single device capable of detecting all infractions, but rather a combination of different systems that allow for monitoring aspects such as mobile phone use or seat belt use. This evolution, which is already being implemented on Spanish roads, represents a significant change for drivers, especially for professional transport drivers.
Historic trucks that shaped road transport
Road transport is one of the cornerstones of the modern economy.

Without these vehicles, much of the logistics chain simply couldn't function. 🚛Throughout history, many truck models have existed, but some have managed to stand out above the rest. Whether for their power, reliability, design, or the innovations they introduced, certain models have left a significant mark on the transport sector.Many haulers remember these trucks as true icons of their time. Some were especially popular for decades, while others marked a turning point in the way trucks were designed and used.In this article, we review some of the most famous trucks in the history of road transport and the reasons why they became such renowned models.

Can you be fined for misusing the V-16 beacon? Here's what the DGT says
From January 1, 2026, traffic regulations in Spain will undergo a significant change: the connected V-16 beacon will be mandatory for all vehicles that need to signal a roadside emergency. This device replaces the old emergency triangles, providing greater safety, as it is not necessary to leave the vehicle to place it.However, its misuse can also result in penalties. Many drivers are unaware that using this beacon incorrectly, or in inappropriate contexts, can lead to fines of up to €200 or even more in serious cases. In this article, we explain when and how to use it correctly, when you can be fined, and what measures to take to avoid penalties.
V16 Beacon: Mandatory requirement confirmed amid invalid models and a DGT that acknowledges its shortcomings
The V16 connected beacon was conceived as a simple solution: to eliminate the need to go down to the road to place warning triangles and reduce the risk of pedestrian accidents in emergency situations. A small device, visible from long distances, capable of automatically alerting the traffic system when a vehicle becomes immobilized. On paper, a clear and logical improvement in road safety.However, the transition to this new system is proving far more turbulent than expected. As January 1, 2026, approaches, the number of doubts, incorrect purchases, controversies, criticisms, and complaints continues to grow. Consumer organizations are warning of thousands of beacons that have been sold despite not being valid for the new mandatory requirement, users discovering too late that what they bought is useless, transport companies worried about the cost of renewing entire fleets, and a DGT (Spanish Directorate General of Traffic) that has had to publicly acknowledge that the communication of the change was inadequate. In this article, we clearly explain everything that is happening and, above all, what every driver should do to comply with the regulations without making mistakes.
