  • New Spanish Driving Tests, UK Senior Licence Changes, and the Fight Against 'Ghost Plates'

    New Spanish Driving Tests, UK Senior Licence Changes, and the Fight Against 'Ghost Plates'
    Nov 2 2025
    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.

  • DGT's Digital Revolution, The Hidden Danger on UK Roads, and Compulsory Eye Tests for Older Drivers - N332 Driving in Spain Podcast

    DGT's Digital Revolution, The Hidden Danger on UK Roads, and Compulsory Eye Tests for Older Drivers - N332 Driving in Spain Podcast
    Oct 12 2025
    This week, the N332 Driving in Spain Podcast delivers essential updates affecting drivers across Europe. We begin in Spain, where the DGT has formally revamped the driving theory test, introducing new questions based on updated road signage and confirming plans to integrate video-based risk assessment in 2026—a model inspired by the UK and Australia. If you are learning to drive or renewing your knowledge, this is critical information.

    Crossing to the UK, we detail the urgent tyre safety warning issued by National Highways. Shocking statistics reveal that one in four vehicles may be running on illegal or defective tyres, posing a risk comparable to mobile phone use at the wheel. We explain the 'T.R.I.P.' campaign and why checking your tyres is more crucial than ever as winter approaches.

    We also look at forthcoming changes to UK driving law, including proposals for mandatory medical and eye tests for drivers over 70 at licence renewal, and a potential lowering of the drink-drive limit in England and Wales to match Scotland and the EU.

    Finally, we feature a full breakdown of the DGT’s mandatory technical standards for e-scooters and Personal Mobility Vehicles (VMPs) in Spain, covering everything from speed limits and lighting requirements to the new Certificate of Compliance. Our Motoring History Corner looks back at the launch of the controversial Ford Sierra and the day a British car broke the sound barrier.
