From. N332 Have you ever read the following statement?; "You are not allowed to drive a foreign-registered car if you have a Spanish driving license." We would like to explain you the following; With a Spanish licence, it is allowed to drive foreign registered vehicles, unless you are the owner. In this case unless you have started the vehicle registration process, the Police will fine you and and the vehicle coud be impounded. The Spanish licence is an official document which proves that you are resident, so according to the law on special taxes you must register all your vehicles in the country where you are resident. Summarizing, the Spanish licence is internationally recognised, so you won´t have problems to use it all over the world, BUT remember that once you get your residency, apart from changing your licence, you will have to begin the process to register all your vehicles in the country.

From. N332. ? Can someone else drive my car ? It seems that over the last few days, there has been rumours going round in some Facebook forums that you can be fined for driving your friend, neighbour, family member's car, when neither the car nor the insurance is in your name. ‼️ This is not true. You will NOT be fined for driving someone else's car, as long as the car has all correct papers (e.g. Permiso de Circulación, ITV in force, and insurance), and that of course anyone that drives the car must have a valid driving license. There is, although, a way to make paperwork easier if someone regularly drives your car, for example if you don’t live in Spain and a friend or neighbour uses your car instead of you. You can contact the DGT to inform them that there will be someone else regularly driving your car. This is beneficial because that way, if any driving infraction is committed by this person driving your car, they will be automatically notified, and be able to deal with it directly. You can see how to do this here: https://sede.dgt.gob.es/es/vehiculos/comunicacion-conductor-habitual/# It is also important to inform the DGT when that person STOPS using your vehicle regularly, so you then obtain any paperwork of possible infractions. If someone else was driving your car when an infraction occurred and the paperwork has gone directly to you, you can contact the DGT to get them to inform the other person. See how to do it here: https://sede.dgt.gob.es/es/multas/identifica-al-conductor-que-conducia-tu-coche/ What about insurance? Anyone (with a valid driving license) is insured to legally drive your car, but, you should contact your insurance company and find out how in your particular policy, if the person who drives your car is under 26 years old OR if their license is a non-eu license, is affected. In which case, they *could* be subject to extra costs, if an accident occurred.
