That's what you have to do when your licence expires and you renew it anyway. Keep the diit in the lines of a rolling road and a chat with the doctor

Not news at all, probably short of a couple of column inches so threw in this very stale info to fill them.

Yet another update from the British consulate at the beginning of the week.

"This is a brief update on progress towards driving licence exchange coming into force. The UK's legal checks have now been completed and a final version is with Spain for agreement on their side. When the British Foreign Secretary and the Spanish Foreign Minister met this week, they both agreed we are close to completing this process. We will update again before the Christmas break and will continue to work with Spain during the Christmas and New Year's week."

That was issued 3 days ago so looking for the "update again before the Christmas break".

Yet another update on the "imminent" rules to change your UK driving licence for a Spanish one.
Seems to be the same thing every time but the UK Ambassador has posted on Facebook:

"Legal checks have now been completed on both sides and the final processes required for an international treaty are now underway.

The agreement is now ready to be passed to the Spanish cabinet for final approval".

However, no date was given for when this would happen.

In the meantime, he has urged British drivers with no current valid licence to get their health and psicotenico tests done as soon as possible in anticipation. This, I presume, is to avoid the rush when it is announced.
