Re: Changing driving licence over
Good point. What's it like the points system on a Spanish licence ? 12 points before a ban ? 3 points for using phone while driving ?
In other words is it same as uk ?

Re: Changing driving licence over
others will be able to tell you more about the points system in Spain, but I do know they like to pull Brits for driving using flip-flops down in the CDS.

Try Google Translate or Google Spanish driving licence points.

I wondered about the flip flop thing do they mean flip flops as I know them i.e. no back on them? I presume wearing sandals if if quite flimsy with an heel strap is ok?

Re: Changing driving licence over
the rule is actually 'suitable shoes' - so maybe it's down to interpretation ........ & how many goals Spain score

It was worth every cent, yes we could have done it ourselves as we do speak enough Spanish to do so but.....we have better things to do with our time than spending the day queuing in Malaga in the heat of summer! Going from where we live it would have been a full day to complete the task, a day wasted in my opinion.
