Hi all taken from www.kyero.com's news section: http://news.kyero.com/2007/11/28/ignorance-is-no-excuse Seems that periodically updated medical certificates are needed if you are driving on a non-Spanish licence for any length of time. See also http://www.spainvia.com/drivelicenceletteradsl.htm No idea if this issue is as serious as this news item suggests (I have a Spanish licence myself so haven't looked into it). Anyone driving into Barcelona should be aware that many speed limits within the municipal area have just been lowered to 80km/h. This measure will be accompanied by lowered limits elsewhere in Catalonia and heavier penalties for speeding (including prison). Take it easy out there! AgentX, in alarmist mode

Just goes to show how handy it is being a tourist not a resident, part 562347 .........


Where did you spot the "Prison for speeding" story ? Does this apply to UK licence holders ? Does it just apply to Catalonia ?
