Helping the Spanish economy

Which city it was?

I'm from Spain and I've never been fined for filtering, and only once for speeding  :woot . Filtering is a grey area that depends on how hard the city's council tries to get money, if it happens that somebody there hates or likes bikes and how dangerous the action seemed to the police. It is not a good idea to filter on a solid line anyway.

In cities like Madrid and Granada you have advanced motorcycle stoplines. I think that nobody is going to fine you if you filter to reach them if the cars are fully stopped and you do it slowly even if you do not leave the 1'5m.

Parking on the sidewalk is allowed in some cities and forbidden in others, so when you travel it seems you have to study each council's local rules. Radar where the speed sign changes are increasing. It is a theft. They mostly control speeding at the sorrounding of towns or at the end of descents. Never where the traffic is very light -no matter the accidents, according to the former chief's words-. The 50% discount is very embarrasing and for many law experts it is considered actually illegal.

It was Altea Costa Blanca North, Alicante province Bike for filtering, and the car speeding fine A-P23 up Narvonne?, parking incident Teulada/Benissa Alicante province. Having a moan but loving my life here in Spain, but I will be hanging onto my British licence as long as I can as I have been told when I get my Spanish licence I will have points straight away.
