DGT wants to finish the most used WAZE function: notification of radar can be very expensive

Are you one of those drivers that WAZE uses to warn about mobile radar or police control? Are you in the WhatsApp group in which these notifications exchange? Well, soon you can face a problem. DGT launched a proposal under the law to change its rules and add as A very serious violation, the fact of warning or separation of the location of police control or radarThe field, that is, the most useful WAZE function can have the days calculated in Spain.

The rule is not actively, but the Congress of Deputies approved the proposal of the law and, according to, is the question – the time – the time when the DGT rules are finally changed to enable this new sanction. There are several lanes to connect, and the points will be defined, but the first text presented is quite clear what cannot be done.

As a resume, DGT wants to start Find out all those users who will notify the real location of the police or radar. Writing says about “Social media”And it is here that applications, such as WAZE, WhatsApp groups or other platforms, such as Radarbot, can enter.

The law does not intend to stop fixed radar warnings, but with these last notifications, which show the position of the mobile radar or control of breathing. And the truth is that DGT intends to become seriously with those who do this: violation is offered as “Very serious”What will entail a serious sanction for drivers.

At least 500 euros and several points of the map

In the category of category of very serious violations, DGT will impose Pilies from 500 eurosas well as the output of several points of the card. As we say, everything leaves to polish, for example, the variability of gravity, the number of points or the method of action of the civil guard in these cases.

This is also not clear How yes, and what cannot be usedIf this is a crime in order to warn about any type of presence of the police or about how the Civil Guard will process those platforms that support the driver’s anonymity.

Is it possible that the Civil Guard will wrap me if you warn about the radar of WAZE?

As we have already said, at the moment the ambiguity of the law is quite wide. It seems that the text presented by DGT More focused on WhatsApp groupsThe field in particular, in these great communities for many cities and villages, where drivers notify the management elements that they see.

And although the functioning of WAZE is something else, the reality is such that He has the same goal as the WhatsApp groupsFor this reason, the field is easy to think that DGT may want to go to both platforms.

• In the case of WhatsApp groups, everything is quite simple. The Civil Guard would only have to penetrate into one of these communities and Indicate the numbers users who make notifications. With the phone, they have access to the name, and, therefore, it is easy to impose a sanction.
• With WAZE, the thing is not so simpleThe field here is the anonymity of the user, which is divided by a notification, enters the game. This is not a closed group, but a network of drivers that send notification of all types and under a series of categories. It would be very difficult for a civil guard, if not, it is impossible to find out which driver joined his control.

To finish WAZe notifications, the subject must be much more serious, being DGT, which offers Prevent this type of platforms that have warned the policeradars or controls. When we are talking about WAZE, we also turn to Google cards, social disk or radarbot.

While the time has come to wait for the Senate, which will be an organism that approves or rejects the entry into force of this A new law against the revelation of the police and radar control through social networks.
