Yes its very confusing I have read many things told many things, and recently become resident along with my wife. So yesterday changed my licence over to Spanish.
So Spain is where we now live.

UK and EU driving licences
You must exchange your UK driving licence for a local EU licence to drive legally in the country you live in. You must do this before the UK leaves the EU.Exchange your licence as early as you can because your application may take longer than usual to process.
You will still be able to drive on your EU licence when visiting the UK.
Vehicle safety and roadworthiness (MOT)
Your UK MOT test certificate will not be recognised in the EU after Brexit.You must have your vehicle retested in the EU country you live in.

Hi Shiva,
There was a case about 10 years ago here in Spain which received a great deal of publicity.
A Spanish lady was involved in a car collision with a Brit driver, it was found that she was at fault but the lady denied this and the case went to Court
In Court the lady asked the Brit to produce their medical certificate which ALL Spaniards require to obtain their licences. This was not forthcoming because the Brit had a UK licence.
The case was dismissed on the grounds that he/she should not have been driving therefore the collision would not have happened. The Brit was found liable for ALL costs.
The position is still the same now so be careful if you're driving on a UK licence.

"The Brit was found liable for ALL costs"
Which his insurer would have paid.
If reported accurately the outcome of the court case was an abberation and a gross misinterpretation of EU law.
