::::Ok, so here's what I know... when I was hitching in Spain in early april, I met this Slovak hitchhiker who had been around Spain for some time. He told me that since feb11 spanish trucks can't pick up hhers anymore... now I ''assume'' that's because of some change in laws or something to do with insurance policies. I don't know for sure. It did make a lot of sense though with everything spanish truckers said when I talked to them about me getting a lift. Anyway, I'll try and make that paragraph in the article a bit clearer, see if you'll like it better.--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 16:52, 3 May 2011 (CEST)
::::: So essentially it's hear-say! I think we should get some kind of official confirmation of this before we actually put it on-line, e.g. does this only apply to Spanish trucks, or to all trucks... - I don't think the Spanish authorities can ban a second driver in a foreign truck ;) [[User:Prino|Prino]] 17:08, 3 May 2011 (CEST)
::::::Yeah, it's hearsay. But so is a lot in this wiki, and the remainder is mainly non-empirical original research ;-) I tried googling a bit but I didn't find anything, not a surprise. I do think, though, that Spanish authorities could ban passengers in ''all'' trucks on their territory very easily if they were so inclined. but I don't think they would have, so I tend to think it's about insurance -- I also talked to spanish truckers in france and they were on about it as well. I'll rephrase it to hearsay, then ;-)--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 17:38, 3 May 2011 (CEST)
