The device that Spanish drivers are raving about
It’s not pleasant to be suddenly frightened by a speeding camera while on vacation in Spain. Sure, most of us have used Google Maps or Waze for those handy camera alerts, but there’s a new kid on the block making life on Spanish roads a lot easier – and it’s not just another noisy app.
Enter the OOONO Co-Driver No1. It’s not an automated co-pilot. Instead, it is a small, clever gadget that has been attracting attention for the right reasons.
Simple, subtle and completely legal
What’s all the fuss about? OOONO won’t clutter up your dashboard with screens and endless notifications. It is tiny, uses a single charge for several months and connects with your phone as soon as you get in the car. Get close to a speed camera, and it quietly flashes and beeps—no fuss, no mess, just a gentle nudge to keep you in check.
It’s like having a friend who will always be there to help you. And unlike some “miracle” devices, it’s 100% legal in Spain—because it simply warns you of fixed and mobile speed cameras based on crowdsourced updates, not by jamming signals or doing anything dodgy.
Avoid buying the wrong gadgets
Here’s where you should be cautious. Not all devices work the same. OOONO has a legal version. However, there are other radar “inhibitors”, which can block police equipment. Those? Big mistake. If you’re caught with one, expect a €6,000 fine and to kiss six points on your licence goodbye. Even the garage who installs them could face a heavy fine.
Even picking up the wrong kind of alert device can sting—use anything not approved and you’re looking at a €200 fine and three points off. Is it worth the risk to go on a holiday?
What’s the best and most legal way to keep yourself safe?
Stick to apps such as Waze or gadgets like OOONO’s CO-DRIVER No1. They’ll give you a heads-up about speed traps, accidents, or even sudden roadworks—just enough to keep your wallet (and your licence) happy.
What’s the best way to avoid problems? Keep your speed down, let the Spanish sunshine (not the sirens!) guide your day.
