Yes i know, just seems totally unfair for those of us who were totally against Brexit. Not just for us, but for later generations too......


It’s the reason we’re still holding off applying for our NLV’s. I’m not sure we want/can pass a Spanish driving test 😆 I’m still hopeful there’ll be an agreement 🤞🤞

There are some with residencia, but still in possession of a U.K. driving license, who appear to be of the opinion that claiming they are only visitors if pulled over by the police will save them. I don’t think so! 🤪🥂

Change made; the deadline has been extended so you can use your UK licence to drive in Spain until Oct 31st, if you were resident in Spain before Jan 2021.

What that means for new arrivals no idea....

Morning SD

Apparently, for new arrivals, nada!

Keep those 🤞. Gov.uk still states 

“Negotiations are underway between the British and Spanish Governments to agree long-term arrangements for exchanging driving licences without needing a practical test”

I’m ever the optimist and wonder if that may be the reason for the extension 🤪🥂
