Uber VTC Spotted on M40 Hard Shoulder in Vallecas: Driver Under Scrutiny
Madrid, Spain – A video circulating online shows an Uber VTC vehicle driving on the hard shoulder of the M40 highway near Vallecas on August 6, 2025. The footage, captured from another moving vehicle, depicts the black sedan positioned on the emergency lane, while other cars proceed in the main traffic lanes. The incident has sparked debate among online viewers, with many questioning the legality and safety of the maneuver. Some comments suggest the vehicle might have been experiencing a breakdown or mechanical issue, forcing it to move at an abnormally reduced speed on the shoulder. Others speculate about the driver's adherence to traffic regulations, particularly concerning the use of the hard shoulder. Spanish traffic laws generally restrict the use of the hard shoulder to emergency vehicles, breakdowns, or specific situations where indicated. Driving on the hard shoulder without a valid reason can result in fines and penalty points. Authorities have not yet commented on the specific incident. The video highlights ongoing discussions regarding the conduct and regulatory compliance of VTC drivers in the region.
