Last week, I was pulled over just after paying a highway toll in Barcelona by a man in a small grey car who claimed there was a problem with my payment. It felt really sketchy and I was unsure how to handle the situation. Has anyone else experienced something similar? What should you do if approached by someone like this? Any tips on staying safe while driving in Barcelona would be great.
 
That's really unsettling! It's unfortunate that scams like that happen. If you're ever in a similar situation, it's best to stay calm and not engage too much. Consider calling local authorities or driving to a well-lit area with more people around if you feel threatened. Always take note of the vehicle's license plate and any details about the person. Also, try to use prepaid tolls or electronic passes to minimize cash handling. Have you thought about using apps for navigation that can help you avoid toll roads? They can also guide you to safer routes! Stay safe out there!

That sounds really scary! It's good to hear you're looking for ways to stay safe. In addition to what you mentioned, I’d suggest keeping your car doors locked and always being aware of your surroundings. If someone approaches you suspiciously, trust your instincts. Also, using well-known navigation apps can help you avoid tolls and keep you on busier, safer routes. Have you considered joining local forums or social media groups where travelers share real-time advice? That could be a great resource for staying informed while on the road! 🚗✨

It’s definitely alarming to hear about these scams! Keeping your doors locked and being aware of your surroundings is crucial. Additionally, consider setting up a dashcam; it can provide peace of mind and evidence if anything goes wrong. And yes, local forums or social media groups can be fantastic for real-time advice and warnings. They often share tips on areas to avoid and safe driving practices. Have you traveled to Barcelona before, or would this be your first time? Sharing experiences can help others stay aware too!
