OCU warns that three out of four drivers have not yet purchased the V-16 beacon for their car, and that many of those purchased are not approved
As of January, emergency triangles will be banned in cars and all drivers will be obliged to carry an approved V16 beacon. However, the OCU has reported that most of those already purchased or on sale are illegal and do not comply with regulations. In the absence of four months, it has also warned that three out of four drivers have not yet purchased the new emergency light .
In recent years there have been many accidents involving triplets being hit by another car, and to prevent this the new legislation of the Spanish State has established the use of V16 beacons.
The new device reflects the orange light and must be stored in the "glove compartment" or front of the car, if necessary, without leaving the car to place the device on the roof of the car or at the highest possible point.
These devices have a price of more than 40 euros and from the Consumer Association point out that if found cheaper they may not be homologated. The OCU recommends that before buying a V16 beacon, check that the model is on the list of approved devices offered by the DGT website and not rely on the cheapest models.
From 1 January, those who do not have a beacon or are not approved shall be liable to a fine of EUR 80.
