A recent video by 'carnet fácil' on social media has highlighted this issue, showcasing common driving frustrations. The video, which has garnered significant views and comments, focuses on three key areas: drivers occupying the right lane unnecessarily, the failure to signal when exiting roundabouts, and the resulting near-misses and traffic congestion. "I can't stand when the right lane is empty, and I have to move to the left to overtake," says the video's creator, illustrating the frustration of many Spanish drivers. This situation leads to unnecessary lane changes, increasing the risk of accidents. Another common frustration is the lack of signaling when leaving a roundabout. "People exiting from the left lane without signaling force me to brake to avoid collisions," she adds. This lack of clear communication between drivers creates hazardous situations. The video concludes with a call for drivers to be more attentive and to follow traffic rules, emphasizing that safe driving is a shared responsibility. By using humor and relatable situations, the video effectively raises awareness about common driving issues and promotes safer driving habits in Spain.
