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!
