Lorry drivers over the limit

In the last two weeks two lorry drivers have been caught over the limit. One on the AP7 was zig zagging  and was 8 times over , the other on the N340 was 5 times over the limit. Both were arrested.
Also an unmarked car pulls along side you on the AP7 show a Police badge and gets you to pull over  needless to say you then get robbed.
Both of these have been on the Spanish news

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.

Travelling on the AP7, especially in a foreign registered car, can always be a problem like you stated.
Also stopping in the Service areas, along that route.
Another big problem is Sants railway station.
Anyone, no matter what age or sex can get robbed there.
Pity the robbers are not caught more often.
