October is bringing some big changes to road safety in Spain— and if you cycle, ride a scooter, use a motorbike or moped, drive a car, or simply walk around town, some of them could affect you.

In this episode, I break down the changes coming from 1October 2026, including helmets, protective clothing, overtaking cyclists, emergency corridors, VMP rules, seat belts and more.

And there is one important thing to remember…

Not everything starts on 1 October 2026.

Some requirements have transition periods, with importantchanges continuing into 2027.

No legal jargon.

No giant rulebook.

Just the things you actually need to know.

Because knowing the rules is good.

Understanding why they exist is even better.

Be safe.
