The Spanish Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) has announced new enforcement measures targeting "zombie cars," which are vehicles registered in the national database that lack mandatory insurance. Authorities are authorized to impose fines of 1,500 euros and may immobilize these vehicles immediately upon detection.
This initiative addresses a significant regulatory gap, as the DGT estimates that approximately three million vehicles currently operating in Spain are uninsured. These unregistered or non-compliant vehicles account for roughly 8% of the total national fleet, prompting the agency to implement stricter penalties to ensure compliance with mandatory insurance requirements.
