Has any one purchased the V16 approved beacon for Spain

I saw a advertisement for these from Spain for £33 I thought that’s not to bad, that’s until I saw the delivery charge £100.65
And most of that £100.65 is taxes and tariffs because UK is a Third Country ... There is likely to be an additional charge of £15 upwards for the UK Couriers to deal with the import paperwork [based on late 2021 tariffs]

Hi all has any one purchased the new V16 mandatory beacon light for breakdown in Spain yet if so where did you get it from ,I ordered and paid for one from ZORRO ?? I paid for it and got conformation of order but next day they cancelled the order saying the light was not available
Absolutely no need with ex Spain registered van
 
No, there is a difference between "You must..." and "You should...."

Correct. Except it doesn't say "should" in that particular rule either.

It says "if your vehicle breaks down..... put a warning triangle"

No should, could you, would you possibly if it's not too much trouble etc.

That's the point. If you are not required to do it, it isn't a requirement, just advice.

I'm really not sure where you see "if you want to" in the sentence that says "put a warning triangle"

It isn't there. Nor is "You must". That's the point.
Try to grasp what is under discussion.
Not: You must grasp what is under discussion.
 
I got one from Amazon WITHOUT a SIM aas it just seems a good idea, it was £12 at the time. If I was stranded due to breakdown I'd still use the Triangle too but who wouldnt want maximum visibility!.

I did the same. Seems a sensible precaution and small and lightweight so easy to stow on board.
