Questions Learners Have About Tunnels & Bad Weather

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Tunnels & Bad Weather, including how questions match the official theory exam in Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What lights are mandatory when driving through a tunnel in Spain?

When driving through a tunnel in Spain, you must always use your position lights (`luces de posición`) AND your low beams (`luz de cruce`), regardless of the tunnel's lighting. High beams (`luz de carretera`) may be used in insufficiently lit tunnels outside urban areas if not dazzling other drivers, but low beams are the absolute minimum for movement.

What is the correct safe distance to maintain from the vehicle ahead in a Spanish tunnel?

For vehicles with a Maximum Authorized Mass (MMA) of up to 3,500 kg, you must maintain a safety distance of at least 100 meters or a 4-second time interval. For vehicles with an MMA over 3,500 kg, this distance increases to 150 meters or a 6-second time interval.

When is the rear fog light mandatory to use in Spain?

The rear fog light (`luz antiniebla trasera`) is mandatory only in very adverse weather conditions that significantly reduce visibility, such as thick fog, very intense rain, heavy snowfall, or dense clouds of dust or smoke. It must always be used in conjunction with position lights and either low or high beams, or front fog lights.

What should I do if there is a fire inside a tunnel?

If there's a fire in a tunnel, you should pull over to the right as much as possible, turn off your engine, leave the keys in the ignition and the doors unlocked. Take your documentation if possible, abandon the vehicle, and walk against the direction of the fire, heading towards the nearest refuge or emergency exit. Never reverse.

Are position lights (`luces de posición`) sufficient for driving inside a tunnel?

No, position lights alone are never sufficient for a moving vehicle inside a tunnel in Spain. You must always complement them with your low beams (`luz de cruce`) for adequate illumination and visibility to other road users. Position lights are for indicating your presence, not for illuminating the road ahead.
