Fortunately, the society of our country has taught us to be more and more mature on the road and the truth is that we run less and less. It is enough to circulate through it to realize that now there are so many cars that usually don’t pass us at high speedwhereas before it was very common.
Yes, we can say that speeding fines are skyrocketing every year, but this is happening more because of the high pressure that the DGT puts drivers under. There are more and more speed cameras and they are more hidden, in order to detect more speeding.
Speed cameras to catch?
Here, what they will catch will not be criminals as such, but those driver negligence which slightly exceeded the maximum speed.
In this particular case, mathematicians show us, numbers in hand, that it is absurd to run, especially when this is illustrated by the time it takes to run a kilometer.
Is it worth the run?
What is true is that if we drive at a moderate speed, 60 km/h, and it goes twice as fast, It will take us about half to cover this kilometer.so that it will go from the minute it takes to 60 to the 30 seconds it takes to 120.
Here we have to think that when the limit is 60 km/h and the DGT catches us driving at 120 km/h, we will get a fine of 400 euros and 4 points less on our driving license.
This could be a crime
One must always assess that we are about to enter the criminal realm, where we would face a speeding trial.
On this subject, he continues to explain that if on a highway at 120 km/h we drive at 140, the time saved is almost ridiculouswell we are talking about 4 seconds per kilometer and we will expose ourselves to a fine of one hundred euros without deduction of points from the license.
Here, we are not even going to gain seven minutes if we drive at 140 on a highway at 120 km/h for 100 kilometers, with all the dangers that this can entail and the necessary attention that requires the driver.
How to check speed camera locations on the DGT website
Speaking of speed cameras, many drivers also want to know where the speed cameras are. Every year, the DGT compiles them in a list in which you can know the locations of the speed cameras according to the province, the road and the kilometer point.
The list will specify the most common locations in which mobile radars will be placedalthough it is not necessary to warn them on the roads.
The list of all data is in a link where the PDF file is downloaded, it is called Speed control points and sections (speed cameras).
Of course, there are other options that aren’t as comfortable. we are download the file in Excel formathow much traffic you have accessed on your website. It contains the data that we talked about previously, but before it was possible to consult it online and now you must proceed to download it.
Another alternative is to consult this map, accessible on the official website. As soon as you are inside, and so that the image does not get dirty, it will be filtered so that only the speed cameras can appear in a tab indicating. “traffic levels”.
The map will eventually appear blank and the image can only be enlarged by zooming in at least to the fourth level. From there we will begin to be able to determine the situation in which the radars will be found, where the radar situation will appearwhere the information of the route we are consulting will come from, as well as the exact kilometer point and the same direction of traffic, which can be increasing or decreasing, depending on the case.
How many speed cameras are there in Spain?
As soon as we know how to consult all the locations of the fixed speedometers, we must think that all those we see there will be radars, but we won’t find them all on the map. Of course, mobile radars will not be presented and not all of them will come from the DGT.
There are not only fixed radars, since it must be remembered that the DGT has mobile radars, called “invisible”, or also called Velolaser, as well as the Pegasuswhat helicopters the organization will have on hand for the sanction, if necessary.
