Hi , I just got stopped by the police for no seatbelt 200€ fine or 100 if paid quickly . Anyway the police told me , in broken English, that I would need to apply for aSpanish license B4 Brexit , as I would not be able to drive legally , after that ? Is this correct, or have I misunderstood the police . Thanks

Have a look at the N332 site for anything to do with driving in Spain.   It is run in collaboration with officers of the Guardia Civil for English speaking people, and there is also an English version of the Spanish equivalent of the Highway Code on there.

If you've been here for three years and not changed your license then you're very lucky that you weren't fined for that as well.

Do it asap, and definitely before Brexit, otherwise you could end up having to take a driving test.
