A question regarding the medical for driving licenses.
I had not been able to book an appointment to exchange my driving license during lockdown.
Do I need to have a new medical.

depends how old you are and what licence you have

My wife and I renewed our driving licenses last Monday in Rojales opened at 1630 done and dusted by 1655,No appointment neccesary no queuing,only eyesight test and questions about medication,and of course the wobbly machine.
We are in our 70 s.no problems,English speaking Doctor etc

I believe the question was will I need a new medical? The medical is only valid for 3 months. The actual time for applying for a new licence if it ran out during the state of alarm has been extended and you have 60 days to renew it after the state of alarm ended on June 21st.
I can't, though, find anything that says the medical time limit will also be extended.

You may have to bite the bullet and pay for another test but the centres (either Rojales or La Siesta) should be able to tell you if you need a new one.
Both those centres do the test and application on the same day but you need an appointment at La Siesta.

Thanks for the info Marcliff.
