This law is about to come into force, and will affect the whole of Spain.

To get sent to prison you would have to be driving at:

- 200km/h on the motorway (legal limit is 120km/h)
- 180km/h on other roads (legal limit is 100km/h)
- 110km/h in urban areas (legal limit varies between 30 and 50km/h

Anyone found driving with over 1.2g blood alcohol can also be sent to prison

Obviously the limits above correspond to some pretty anti-social behaviour, but even under the existing laws, if a Spanish driver is caught driving at say 150km/h on the motorway, he/she will lose points and can be banned from driving temporarily or permanently. Not sure what would happen with a non-Spanish licence holder.

More radar traps have been installed, and apparently there is to be a lot more drink-driving control in the run-up to Christmas.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information, time for a very muddy numberplate and blinkers next time I go out being extremely anti-social.  :-X
