Residents Denounce Nightly Dangerous Driving
Residents of Terrassa, Can Tries, and Viladecavalls are reporting ongoing incidents of illegal car and motorcycle races inside the B-40 tunnel, which connects northern Terrassa with Viladecavalls. The complaints, shared through the Instagram profile @circuliperladreta.cat on Thursday 15 October 2026, describe repeated disturbances caused by reckless driving and excessive engine noise late at night. The tunnel, a frequently used route for local drivers, amplifies engine sounds and accelerations, according to the group, significantly disrupting the rest of the area’s residents. Locals are also warning that dangerous driving manoeuvres pose a serious risk to other road users.
Video Shows Drifting and Lane Crossings
A video shared by @circuliperladreta.cat shows a car performing uncontrolled drifts and crossing lanes within the tunnel. A second orange sports car appears to accompany the vehicle, while a third car films the activity. The footage has not been independently verified by authorities. The post has sparked debate online, with some Instagram users condemning the actions as hazardous and unjustifiable, while others have commented on the driver’s skill.
"Manoeuvres of reckless driving that put the safety of other road users at risk."
The Ajuntament de Terrassa has not issued a public statement. Under the municipal traffic ordinance and Spain’s consolidated traffic law (Royal Legislative Decree 6/2015), such actions could lead to fines, vehicle seizure, or suspension of driving privileges. Residents concerned about traffic violations in the area are advised to report incidents via the Ajuntament de Terrassa’s electronic portal or to contact local traffic authorities directly.
What This Means for You
Local drivers are urged to remain vigilant when using the B-40 tunnel, particularly at night. Anyone witnessing illegal racing or dangerous driving is encouraged to document the time, vehicle details, and location, and report them to municipal or regional police.
