New Spanish Driving Tests, UK Senior Licence Changes, and the Fight Against 'Ghost Plates'
About this episode
This week on the N332 Driving in Spain podcast, we dive into major developments impacting drivers across Spain and the UK.
Mark Nolan covers the DGT's significant revamp of the Spanish driving theory test, which now incorporates new road signs and plans for video-based questions to better test real-world judgement.
We also look at the UK Government’s introduction of a new mandatory digital renewal process for driving licences for those aged 70 and over.
In crime and enforcement news, Spain is imposing tougher penalties—up to a six-point deduction—for mobile phone use at the wheel, while UK police are deploying new technology to combat 'ghost plates' used to evade ANPR cameras.
As the nights draw in, we highlight three essential articles on N332.es focusing on the crucial theme of road visibility.
Plus, our Motoring History Corner explores key developments from the first week of November in both Spanish and UK transport history.
Tune in for all the essential road safety news and analysis you need for the week ahead.
