Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 All things being equal (or perhaps just Covid free enuf) Ill be picking up the keys on Friday I seemed to have right royally screwed up though, I cant find my driving licence anywhere. Ive taken the day off tomorrow to tear the house apart looking for it but this could be the dampest squib Ive ever presided over. I have another premonition.. hiring a car or motorbikes without a licence will be tricky (impossible), how does she do it we ask? Fuck knows. Ill try and post updates of the unfolding disaster/triumph but I got a feeling I’m gonna be busy ripping the house apart so that Mr Slowlys “Welcome to motorcycling in Spain” doesnt turn into “Welcome to you doing all the driving because your wife is a half wit” 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I'm not certain but I think it's illegal to ride/drive without your licence in most European countries ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the case? If you have a photo card thats dandy. If you have a paper licence you need a IDP. The only changes are if its a UK vehicle you must display on the number plate a GB sticker (this changes to a UK sticker on the 1st January) and unrelated to Brexit Spain like France has now made motorcycle gloves mandatory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In France motorcycle gloves must be CE marked and worn at all times on the bike. UK sticker I think is mandatory from 1st September? I'll have to check that one.

The 1st of Jan is the change from the GB sticker to the UK one. Apparently it was felt wrong that Ireland was excluded as its not part of GB but is part of the UK?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
