Some curious reasons why they can fine a driver behind the wheel of his vehicle (I)

With the highway code in hand, there are many reasons why a driver, whether professional or not, can be fined while driving on the road network. Parking in prohibited places, speeding or not wearing a seatbelt are well-known reasons for sanctioning, but there are many others, more curious or strange, that also lead to fines.

It is not often that a truck circulates in the left lane when the right lane is free, that is usually done by passenger cars, SUVs or vans and delivery vehicles. Well, doing so is sanctioned by the General Traffic Regulations with a fine of 200 euros.

It is also not advisable to stick your hand out the window of the vehicle, either to gesture, greet or make a derogatory gesture to another driver , of the "comb" type. Any action of this type can be sanctioned with fines of up to 100 euros.

But one of the least known and one that must be taken into account when working as a professional driver is the one related to the footwear that used at the wheel. According to the code, driving without a shirt, barefoot or with inappropriate footwear can be punished with a 200 euro fine. This means that not wearing shoes that are safe or comfortable enough can lead the agent to make a strict interpretation of the rule and sanctions, both for wearing high-heeled shoes and espadrilles or flip-flops. For this reason, it is advisable to drive with comfortable and safety footwear, such as those of the Robusta or Cofra quality brands.

At recambiosdelcamion.com and Recambios Spain you can find footwear from both brands at excellent prices, with discounts and on sale. For example, we now apply discounts on the Acebo de Robusta model or the Petri model from the prestigious manufacturer Cofra. Both with discounts close to 20%.
