What the hell
Why on earth would this eyesore be mandatory ?
What's the reasoning ?
Surely a magnetic device would be better than drilling thru your roof - especially if your only visiting or travelling thru Spain....

Sorry for the confusion - It is magnetic 🧲

Not a permanent fixture, it replaces the warning triangle as the new mandatory safety warning device for 2026+ in Spain.

It has GPS and IOT connectivity built in to relay position automatically to the road authorities in Spain when activated.
🚨

Edit: Sorry for the confusion !
I have edited the original post to add that it is for use in an emergency.
