Holidaymakers warned of Spanish rule change as Brits could be faced with £170 fine

Holidaymakers in Spain could find themselves out of pocket if they're caught doing a 'common mistake' while driving.

Motorists who take to the road while abroad are often surprised by different rules than we have in the UK, aside from just driving on the other side of the road. A common mistake Brits make while in Spain is thinking they can remove their shirt while driving, reports the Mirror.

Despite the hot weather, taking off your top can land you with a fine of around £170 and three penalty points. While the act of driving shirtless isn't illegal, Spanish law prevents anything that would be considered unsafe driving.
