Overview
- The DGT closed its Easter road-safety push with 30 people dead in 28 fatal crashes, a provisional tally that is three more than last year.
- Traffic rose 3.2% during the holiday period to 17.3 million long trips, and most fatalities occurred on two-way secondary roads where nine in ten deaths were recorded.
- A head-on collision on the EX-102 in Cáceres killed three men and left a woman seriously injured, with the Guardia Civil’s road-crash unit UNIS investigating.
- In 2025, the DGT issued 6,106,354 fines, about one every 5.2 seconds, with Catalonia and the Basque Country outside the national count because they manage traffic themselves.
- Regional gaps were stark, led by Andalusia and Madrid in total fines, while Galicia logged 446,905 sanctions with sharp provincial splits, including Pontevedra’s highest volume and Lugo’s top rate per driver.
