Hi, can you exchange your uk license for a Spanish license before you get your TIE card, not a resident yet no green paper.

Hi,
To gain a Spanish driving licence I think you will need to take a Spanish driving test.
Quote from the UK government website:
If you did not register with DGT before 30 December 2020If you did not register with DGT before 30 December 2020 and wish to exchange your UK driving licence, you should follow the DGT process for non-EU nationals. This includes taking a driving test.
The UK government is in discussion with the Spanish government on future driving licence exchange without the need for a practical test. Sign up for email alerts to this page, to get notified of our updates on changes to the rules.
Your valid UK licence will continue to be recognised in Spain until 30 June 2021.

The way things are going I’ll be lucky to get my tie card by then.
How many 75 year olds will pass a drivtest, so it’s a golf buggy and a electric bike.
How about one of these - no license, no problem is the suggestion. Citroen AMI, electric and rumoured to be EUR 6900 here in Spain. Enjoy :)

If it’s wasn’t you two, I’d be getting the popcorn 🍿 out. I’ve got a big bucket of sweet and salty begging to be opened. 😉🤪🥂
