The V-16 beacon is now compulsory: how to use it and how to avoid fines
All vehicles must carry the approved beacon from today, which replaces the triangles and sends the location of the vehicle to the DGT.
As of today, the V-16 beacon has become an essential element for replacing traditional pre-signalling triangles in passenger cars, vans, buses, trucks and mixed vehicles, in order to increase road safety so that passengers do not have to leave the vehicle to mark breakdowns or accidents.
The device must have the approval of IDIADA or LCOE, must be loaded into the guanter or place of easy access and, when turned on, must be placed at the top of the vehicle. The beacon sends light and automatically transmits the exact position of the vehicle to the DGT 3.0 platform. This information may be received by other drivers through browsers, applications or variable message panels.
Not wearing a beacon or using an unapproved model carries a light penalty of 80 euros, the same penalty as emergency triangles. However, the DGT insists that "there is no vocation to fine".
In addition, geolocated beacons guarantee complete privacy: the position is transmitted anonymously and only when the device is turned on by an emergency. As long as it is off, it does not signal or track the vehicle.
