The DGT has had to clarify on Twitter to several drivers that driving on the shoulder is still prohibited by law and therefore can lead to a fine. Remember that this offense is punishable by up to 200 euros.
The measure of driving on the shoulder in certain cases It is one of the star proposals that the DGT wants to carry out this year when the reforms of the Road Safety Law that is being processed in Las Cortes are confirmed. Measures such as that the use of the intercom is legal, has already been approved, so it just lacks a little patience on the part of the users.
Driving on the hard shoulder is prohibited … for the moment
The DGT takes the safety of citizens very seriously, both in the city and on the road, that is why has launched several campaigns during the year raising awareness about, for example, whether scooters can ride on the sidewalk or not, or about new traffic limits in urban areas.
Today's topic, however, has to do with a proposal that has been distorted on Twitter and that has cost certain users a fine. We talk about driving on the shoulder with our motorcycle. This is one of the measures that the DGT wants to introduce in the General Circulation Law that is being debated in Congress but that at the moment has not been approved.
The proposal, which is being debated, says that to facilitate the flow of traffic in highly congested areas, the biker will be able to ride on the shoulder. Is wanted put an end to risk situations that can happen when motorcycles move between cars. Of course, to do so, the driver may not exceed 40 km / h.
However, today the general rule dictates that this action is prohibited. Only allowed occupy the shoulder if there is an emergency or because we are traveling at an abnormally slow speed that obstructs traffic. This maneuver is considered a serious offense and can be sanctioned with up to 200 euros of fine, so before carrying it out it is important to be well informed.
Let us also remember that on the shoulders there may be debris such as glass or garbage so it is not highly recommended since we could get an unpleasant surprise or even cause an accident.
