Hello Again.

I have on my licence entitlements for motorcycles and buses will these be carried over to a spanish licence or am i better to keep my british one. If so what about living address as when we do move we will no longer have an address in britain?

Cheers

Andy

If the endorsements are not carried over and you retain your UK license, but then drive a vehicle in Spain that you couldn`t on a Spanish License I`m not totally sure but my understanding is that you could be prosecuted.

I think driving a UK license in Spain when it has been registered with Traffico only entitles the holder to drive a car and moto upto 75cc, if you drive outside that class, you need a Spanish license.

For Buses, all drivers need to pass there Spanish driving course, Spain does not recognise other countries qualifications for public transport.

You no longer have to register with Traffico a UK license.
