Fasten your seat belts!

The Spanish Traffic General Directorate (DGT) has announced that it will be installing 270 traffic cameras that will control the use of the seat belt in Spanish roads. Fines for not using the seat belt are among the eight traffic offences covered by the EU Cross-border Enforcement Directive, which regulates the cross-border exchange of information on road-safety-related traffic offences. 

How much is the fine for failing to wear the seat belt in Spain? 200 euro AND 4 points off your driving licence (the points system ONLY applies to Spanish driving licences - including Spanish residents even if they have not exchanged their licence at the time of the offence).
