EES Border Rollout, School Bus Checks, and The 50% Vulnerable User Shock | N332 Driving in Spain Podcast

This week on the N332 Driving in Spain Podcast, Mark Nolan delivers urgent safety information and traffic alerts as Spain heads into autumn. We dissect the DGT’s latest, worrying statistics showing that vulnerable road users now account for half of all road fatalities, underscoring the vital need to eliminate distraction, alcohol, and speed.A critical warning is issued regarding the EU’s new Entry-Exit System (EES), scheduled for a phased rollout starting October 12th, which is set to fundamentally change how non-EU citizens cross the border, with potential for significant travel delays.We also detail the DGT’s forthcoming national School Transport Safety Campaign, which will see intensified checks on buses, drivers, and seatbelt compliance in November.Finally, Mark covers essential autumn driving tips, from checking your tyres and wipers to extreme vigilance around schools, and we close with a trip through Spanish motoring history. All safety documents discussed this week are available for read on the N332 website.Thanks for listening, please remember to follow for more. Or not. Your choice. But thanks anyway.
