Hello, does anyone know if you are allowed to drive in spain if you have only passed your driving test a year ago. Ive been on the motorways here and heard earlier that its 2 years before i can drive here.
please help

Thats weird ... what is the reason for passing a driving test if not to drive? or you talking about a Learners Licence? Most anywhere allows a Learner to drive as long as they got a qualified driver in the passenger seat anyway.

I look forward to reading some educational replies ..... I am dumbfounded!

Im not a learner, I have a full uk driving licence, just seems weird to me that people are saying im not allowed to drive in spain for another year

Kate I live in Spain and what they are saying is load of old crap. If you are a fully qualified driver there,s no problem.

Car Hire companies often will not hire you a car if you have not held a full licence for two years though, so check with a company before hand

If you hold a full UK licence, you can drive on it anywhere, should you be staying in Spain for any length of time you may need to take a local test, usually just a paper exercise. Other than that you can apply for an International licence, which is valid everywhere

Since you are still in the EU, you can make your UK driving licence a European one. It only took me about 15 minutes to do this and it is valid all over Europe just the same as it is in the UK.

Another lil tip: I live in Romania. Since Romania is NOT the issuing authority of my driving licence, they CANNOT take it away from me, whatever i do This EU thing has still to sort a few things out b4 they can really function properly
