Paying tolls with your phone in Spain gives a 200 euro fine? It's not that simple

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 17:00

Social media posts are circulating that warn about a possible 200 euro fine and six points on your driving license for anyone using a mobile phone to pay a toll in Spain. These posts have gone viral and have generated concern among drivers.

However, the reality is more complex than these posts suggest. Using a mobile phone to pay a toll in Spain is not, in itself, an infraction that automatically results in this penalty.

The confusion appears to arise from the interpretation of Spanish traffic laws regarding mobile phone use while driving, which are in fact rigorous in the neighboring country.
