There have been highway robbers on the AP7 for at least as long as we have been here (10 years) and we were given a lot of warnings about this before we moved over.  The first time we drove our British registered car down to Tortosa we were trailed by a black BMW which pulled alongside and the occupants pointed to our rear tyre indicating that it was flat.  I got out my camera and started photographing them and their car, and they disappeared off up the road in a (literal) flash.

They really should post up warnings about these barstewards on the gantries like they do for traffic congestion or weather. conditions.
