Under Spain’s new traffic law, published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE), seven traffic offences will no longer incur points on driving licences, though they can still incur fines. The new rules will apply from tomorrow, and the seven are:

* Driving on motorways or dual carriageways with prohibited vehicles
* Driving with over 50% more occupants for which the vehicle is equipped
* Parking or stopping on bends, hills, tunnels, junctions or any other dangerous places
* Parking or stopping in a bus lane
* Driving without lights when they are required
* Riding motorbikes or mopeds with under 12 year olds as passengers
* Reckless driving causing danger to other road users

It worries me that offenses such as reckless driving or having an under 12 year old on the back of a motorbike should not be punished with a points fine whereas driving without a seat belt should. Surely endangering the life of another person should carry a greater punishment than endangering only your own?

It was pointless giving points anyway. The Spanish just don't get the point of having them. This fact was pointed out to me by a Spanish friend.

A bit pointed wasn't it?
