Very helpful member
Brits can drive if on holiday, which falls within the 90 day Schengen rule, however, for now, unless a deal, 'only EU citizens & list of associated countries below can swap for a Spanish licence', which is needed after 6 months. Those Brits now living in Spain, who did not apply for a swap while EU citizens stuck with having to take a Spanish driving test.
The countries with which Spain has signed agreements for the exchange of
permits are: Andorra, Algeria, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia,
South Korea, Croatia, Ecuador, Japan, Morocco, Peru, Dominican Republic,
Paraguay, Switzerland, Uruguay , Venezuela, Brazil, El Salvador, the
Philippines, Guatemala, Serbia, Turkey, Tunisia and Ukraine. (Note Japan in there becuase included in EU trade deal, but not UK deal)
