I am hoping someone can advise me with a licence exchange question if possible.

During the licence exchange fiasco I was desperate to be able to drive so I took the spanish driving test and fortunately passed but on my UK licence I also have full motorcycle entitlement which I would like to make use of, the issue I have is can I apply for a licence exchange with my UK licence or will I have to cancel my spanish one first as I am sure a person cannot hold two licences

Any advice would be very welcome...thanks in advance guy's

A pretty unique situation so pertinent advice may be thin on the ground.

Personally I think I'd approach DGT directly and see what they have to say, may well be unique to them too.

Might be helpful to get a Letter of Entitlement from DVLA (£5 fee and by phone only) as that will positively confirm your entitlement to group A with which ideally you might just be able to persuade DGT to reissue your licence with that on it.

Good luck!
