Remember Spain were in no way obligated to grant the any of the extensions they did and only dug their heels in in an effort to force UK into action.
The issue actually goes back to the negotiations for the WA where UK were negligent in not including driving licences as a point for mutual agreement, it was up to UK to ask for that not Spain/the EU to offer it but unfortunately they didn't and folks like you are now paying the price.
I can't see why folk are getting upset about this? Just take the test and and the problem is solved!
