What little-known fines might drivers in Spain face?

For example, drivers in Spain are prohibited from sticking their hands out of the window, as well as driving in flip-flops or without a T-shirt.

In addition, Spanish law enforcement agencies believe that eating while driving can greatly distract a driver from the situation on the road. Therefore, such actions threaten the life and health of other road users and entail a fine.

In addition, the Spaniards are not allowed to kiss while driving. Just like in the case of eating, a kiss can distract the driver and this can lead to irreversible consequences.
