- If it is safe and you have one, put a warning triangle or other permitted warning device on the road at least 45 metres (50 yards) behind your broken down vehicle on the same side of the road. Always take great care when doing this.

Then you may get ticketed for incorrect positioning in Spain....they'll give you a ticket for anything if it will boost the coffers.Hi
I am not sure about the correct distance, I would place two around 100 Mtr's apart and from the Mo Ho, giving a 200 Mtr total distance, also don't forget the High Vis Jackets. Pete

What Bryan has stated is fact, however if your Spanish you don't bother............ Today we watched a Spanish man and his wife fixing a flat on the side of the N332 ( a very bad road for accidents ) whilst the 3 kids sat in the back. When police arrived they did nothing other than directing traffic around them. Job done they drove off one way and the police the other. I guess the police thought not going to get much of a fine from these lot........
True!
However, " rich" foreigners are fair game....... You have been warned

Not talking about the tragic road cases @Chris , and I think you know that, but the routine minor breakdowns which we have all faced. In such, minor cases involving foreign drivers, (foreign plates that is), speeding, jumping lights and traffic infringements, drivers are routinely escorted to an ATM to pay "on the spot" fines.
So, I repeat....... You have been warned.

I do appreciate that.
Just checking Google translate , if a Spanish cop has a go at you for missing a triangle or two just say:
No tienes nada mejor que hacer ?

Oh! That is sure to avoid a fine. Wonderful advice, would you say it in UK? Think not.

PS: for non Spanish speakers, this poster recommends asking the Guardia "Have you nothing better to do"
B
with which a number of the membership took exception.

What do the Spanish Police want you to do if you've broken down and you're in the fast lane of the motorway. Walk 50, then 100m into live traffic I suppose.
Not any more. Done away with it,made it illegal. They all carry credit card readers now., drivers are routinely escorted to an ATM to pay "on the spot" fines.
So, I repeat....... You have been warned.
