While there isn't a specific law prohibiting smoking itself, any activity that prevents a driver from maintaining full attention on the road is forbidden under Article 18 of Spanish traffic law. Holding, lighting, or extinguishing a cigarette is considered a significant distraction that compromises safety and can lead to a fine.
Similar to smoking, eating or drinking in itself is not explicitly illegal, but if it causes you to lose focus, take your hands off the steering wheel unsafely, or otherwise distracts you from driving, it is considered a violation of the full attention rule and can result in a fine under Spanish traffic regulations.
Throwing any object from a vehicle, especially a lit cigarette butt, is a serious offense in Spain. As of 2026, this action can lead to a substantial fine and the loss of 6 points from your driving license, particularly if it poses a risk of causing a fire or other environmental damage.
Activities like applying makeup, styling hair, or shaving require visual and manual attention that should be dedicated to driving tasks. This diverts your focus from the road, reduces your reaction time, and impairs your awareness of traffic, making it a dangerous cognitive distraction that is penalized under Spanish law.
By completing Cognitive Distractions, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Spain. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
