According to Article 46.1.f of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), outside built-up areas you must drive at a moderate speed when approaching broken-down vehicles on the carriageway. In addition, Article 88.1 (as worded by Royal Decree 518/2026) requires you, on any road, to reduce your speed by at least 20 km/h below the limit when passing a vehicle that has broken down or been in an accident and is blocking the lane.
