The Guardia Civil has conducted separate investigations into reckless driving incidents in Spain.

In Zahora, Cádiz, authorities investigated a driver for ‘temeridad manifiesta’ (manifest recklessness) after a vehicle collision. Following the accident, the driver and a passenger fled the scene, and the driver subsequently reported the vehicle as stolen. The individual faces investigation for crimes against road safety and the simulation of a crime.

In Villacarrillo, Jaén, an investigation was launched into a driver for alleged reckless maneuvers and operating a vehicle without a license. This inquiry was prompted by social media footage posted to Instagram, which depicted high-risk maneuvers on motorcycles and a moped in urban areas populated by pedestrians.
