On the occasion of the summer holidays, a large “exit operation” takes place in which it is common to find delays at the entrances and exits of the main cities due to the rest days that thousands of Spaniards seek to enjoy. According to the study ‘Intention to spend in summer’ released by the Cetelem Observatory, 39% of the 1,000 Spaniards surveyed for said analysis will travel this summer “within the national territory”. It is possible that on many of these trips the car is the means of transport chosen to travel to their holiday destinations. If you are one of those who chooses the car, it is advisable to be proactive and plan the trip in advance. Before you put your hands behind the wheel and hit the road, check that all the elements of the car are in perfect condition. And, of course, do not forget to check that you have the mandatory documentation in your vehicle to avoid possible fines. But do you know what documentation you should carry when traveling by car?
According to the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) when driving, it is mandatory to carry three valid documents.
The circulation and driving license and the ITV card are the three mandatory documents that must always be carried in the car before going out on the road. And, in addition, it is advisable to make sure that we have the basic tools and accessories to deal with breakdowns or unforeseen events such as the reflective vest or the spare wheel.
