Washing your Car in the Street
Washing your Car in the Street
by Floreus » Wed Jul 10, 2019 8:36 am
I find it amazing the number of foreigners are still washing their cars in the street.
They don't realise that they could be facing a big fine.
The recent sandy rain created many to use this illegal practice.

How are people supposed to know these rules? I imagine most people washing their car on the street are using water that they are paying for.
What is the difference between people washing their car on their driveway or on the street as the water runs out, over the footpath and onto the road anyway?
Weird laws

It's to stop a. The waste of water. If you take it to a car wash the water is recycled, filtered and used again.
b. To stop detergents and chemicals getting into the domestic system down the drains. Again, a car wash will clean and recycle the water.
It doesn't matter if you do it on the street or on your driveway, if the water runs into the public road and the sewer system you can be fined.
People should know the "rules". Many people come here expecting things to be the same as their home country and get a shock when rules of the road and other things are "different" and call them weird. Spain suffers quite high periods of drought because of the lack of rain so these rules are anything but weird.

How can you find all the rules though, similar to putting your rubbish in the bins between 8pm - 11pm, lots of the signs on the bins have worn off

Lots of people do things they shouldn't. Doesn't make it right. We stopped at a 'Stop' sign the other day, well, according to the car behind us, we had committed murder or worse! He was up our arse all the way up the street and going mental, but would he pay our fine if we got caught for not stopping, I think we all know the answer to that.

I'm not going to get involved in a slagging match, just ask the police.
I've lived in Spain over 16 years and not only in the Quesada area and if you're not familiar with Spanish Law, go to the police station and ask.
The fines can range between 30€ to 3000€
