Motoring in SpainI HAVE just found a web-site where we are offered, at a price, genuine EU driving licences even if we have been banned “unfairly by a judge” or if we wish to have another classification that we have not been tested for.  This cannot surely be legal?   Richard & Judy Goddard, by email.

I have advised on this scam before and only the desperate and ignorant would fall for it.  How it usually works is that the people who offer the licences have an arrangement,  I guess, with "accomplices" in an Eastern European EU country and employees at the offices that issue the driving licences for that country must be involved for the offer states that the licences are genuine, not forgeries. The offer states “Due to a loophole in the EU regulations, etc…..”

But consider this.  To qualify for a driving licence you have to be officially resident in the country of issue or, have been as in the case for example of us Brit expats here where we can drive here as residents (and visitors, of course) on a current UK licence which we are not forced to change until it expires as long as the rules for the drivers of the new country of residence are followed.

New moves for Espaneura Movers and StorersTHE REMOVAL business may have slowed down considerably in the current recession but established removal company Espaneura SL, based in Catral, is fighting back and expanding its UK base with a new warehouse in North Wales as well as their existing two warehouses in the Costa Blanca. “With the uncertainty of the property market we are now able to offer free storage in both countries as part of our removal package” quoted TinaParkinson, one of the company owners: “People lucky enough to sell their home here but who have not found anything suitable to move into find this a beneficial solution. We understand that flexibility is a very important part of our service.

“We are also offering a personal touch with our valued Estimator, Tony Humphreys, who visits to assess and discuss the individual needs of each customer… we find it is best to look at each potential job and gauge the volume and packing needs and vehicle requirements for ourselves.”

Importing a UK car PDF Print E-mail

Importing a UK carHI BRIAN, just a short question on importing cars to Spain: If the car you are importing has been smashed and repaired is that okay with the old Trafico?  As the logbook in UK might not say ‘cat c,d,’ or might say that it’s been repaired, i.e. written off and put back on the road after repair.


Also may I say that after reading your book I now have a Spanish Driving license; so simple to do and have now helped my friends to do the same (at a fee).  Also the old police are now cracking down on people that flaunt the 183 day rule up in Alicante. So keep up the good work by telling people through your column in the papers to be LEGAL: you know it makes sense.
