Every December brings celebration, but it also brings preventable tragedy. The December edition of N332 Signpost highlights drink driving from three perspectives: the driver, the police officers who attend the scene, and the families left behind.

Drivers often underestimate the effect of alcohol. It dulls judgement long before they realise it, leading to decisions that cannot be reversed. Police officers witness the aftermath firsthand, from the broken silence of a collision scene to the painful duty of informing families. And families live with the empty chair, the questions that never end, and the future stolen by someone else’s moment of recklessness.

In this short update, Mark introduces the new N332 information hub dedicated to V-16 emergency lights — the connected beacons that will replace warning triangles across Spain from January 2026. The page brings together official DGT resources, clear explanations, and answers to the most common questions drivers are asking.

This episode also marks the launch of N332 Signpost, a monthly pocket-style snapshot guide designed to give you essential information quickly and clearly. The first edition focuses entirely on the V-16 emergency beacon and is available to download from the hub, as well as on Kindle, free for Kindle Unlimited users.
