In this first episode of our new podcast series, we're bringing you the latest from the world of motoring and road safety, with a special focus on recent developments in Spain and the UK.

We delve into a DGT article that highlights the challenges faced by drivers in rural Spain and explore new initiatives aiming to improve mobility in these areas. We then cross over to the UK to look at a new "one visit, more impact" trial by a local council to tackle the perennial problem of potholes.

We also hear from the front line of accident rescue, as we get a first-hand account from the DGT on the life-saving work of firefighters and Guardia Civil officers.

Plus, we'll be discussing this week's upcoming articles on the N332 website, including a helpful guide to choosing car tyres, an update on new rules for obtaining a motorbike licence in Spain, and an explanation of overtaking on Spanish roads.

We also mention a significant new insurance act for Spanish drivers., which includes mandatory insurance for electric scooters. We will have more about that next time.

Finally, we take a trip down memory lane, looking at key moments from motoring history for the week of August 12th to 18th, including a poignant look at the UK's first motoring fatality and the passing of a co-founder of a famous automobile company.
