Sorting out Spanish traffic offences from the UK
Shortly before I left Spain for good, I was stopped by the trafico for a minor offence, and left the paperwork with someone to sort out on my behalf.
Long story short - it wasn't sorted. What is the best way for me to proceed?Can I do something via the Embassy in London, should I contact the trafico direct.
Any advice?

You will have a UK licence when you return anyway.

Re: Sorting out Spanish traffic offences from the UK
why would you transfer your spanish licence to the UK, if you took your original test in the UK, you should be able just to apply for a duplicate from DVLA, and nobody will therefore be any the wiser to the fact that you have been driving in Spain

I think when traffico swop them they send your UK one back to UK, so they will know you have a Spanish licence.
