British expats living in Spain unable to drive after failure to reach Brexit agreement

From 1 May, thousands of Britons in Spain will be unable to use their UK driving licences on Spanish streets – although tourists will be exempt from the ban.

The new restrictions are set to take effect after the British and Spanish governments failed to reach consensus on DVLA-issued licences by the 30 April deadline, with Tory MP Sir Iain Duncan Smith pointing the finger at the European authorities.

Until 1 May, Britons living in Spain were able to use their DVLA-issued licences to drive, but could now face weeks of chaos as alternative measures to reach a deal are pursued. Meanwhile, every other European nation has agreed a post-Brexit protocol in respect of British driving licences.
...
“From May 1, UK licence holders who have been resident in Spain for more than six months and did not exchange their licence during the transition period will no longer be able to drive legally in Spain. We have agreed to rapidly accelerate talks, and are urging the Spanish government to bring forward interim measures.”
