Perusing the Brittany Ferries "Advice for riding abroad", and noticed it said Bluetooth devices are illegal for use in Spain? Anyone confirm this?
Bluetooth devices are fine satnav music etc the only thing you can't have on the device is speed camera detectors theses must be turned off or removed. You risk a big fine and the confiscation of the bike .

I'm looking at http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/guides/driving/spain (http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/guides/driving/spain) and I can't see anything about Bluetooth?
As Pross already said, it does say on that page "Radar detectors are illegal in Spain whether in use or not. If you are caught with such equipment in your vehicle, you are liable to a hefty fine."

That's because you are looking at advice for 'Cars' driver's :whistling: , have a look at "Motorbike touring in Spain" on the BF site and look at the last sentence in the Road safety section :popcorn:.
Whoops! My apologies. I was indeed looking in completely the wrong place. Nearly as bad as Brittany Ferries giving completely wrong information :smiley:
Cheers,

The moral of this is, Don't go to Spain. :no: :mfr_lol:

Surely the moral in this is obey the rules of the country you are in !!!!!
