Overview

  • Guardia Civil in Cuenca investigated a 49-year-old after radar clocked him at 231 km/h on the AP-36, where the limit is 120.
  • The speed check triggered a search that, with support from Toledo traffic units, located the vehicle and led officers to send the case to the San Clemente duty court.
  • Under article 379.1 of Spain’s Penal Code, such speeds can bring three to six months in prison, fines, community service, and a one to four year driving ban.
  • In a separate case in Catalonia, Mossos d’Esquadra recorded 193 km/h in an 80 zone on the C-14, immobilized an Audi RS6 on the N-260, and brought the 41-year-old driver to a quick trial in Cervera.
  • The two cases highlight routine tactics in Spain, where police use fixed checkpoints, mobile radar, and cross-province coordination to treat extreme speeding as a criminal matter.
