In Spain, there's a tradition known as "Spanish picaresque." It refers to the ability of many Spaniards to find loopholes and try to circumvent the rules to their advantage.

There are times when things go well, and other times when the authorities catch the perpetrators red-handed. It's a matter of assessing whether what they've done is serious enough to warrant a fine or a heavier punishment.

This is something that could be seen on a Barcelona street. The Instagram account @circuliperladreta shared a video showing a motorcyclist trying to gain some time.

In the scene, the boy is seen standing behind a bus at a red light. He begins to overtake despite the continuous line on the ground . However, he quickly abandons the idea.

The reason is that two Guardia Urbana motorcycles appear right in front of him. One of them stops in front of the motorcyclist to warn him that there is a no-passing line on the road. This time, it was merely a warning.
