Madrid, Spain - August 26, 2025 Dashcam footage from a winding rural road shows a woman typing on her phone with both hands, taking her eyes off the road. The vehicle drifted toward the edge before she realized the danger, screaming and cursing as she quickly corrected back to the center. The video highlights Spain’s rising road deaths in 2025, despite ongoing safety campaigns, with mobile phone distractions being a leading cause. Authorities report that one in four drivers admits to using their phones while driving. In response, police launched nationwide checks for phone use at the wheel on October 8, 2025, aiming to prevent fatalities caused by distracted driving. Police urged drivers to remember: no message, call, or playlist is worth a life.
