Rule changes
Hi everyone.
We all know about the wearing of masks is being lifted on Saturday except for when you go indoors.
However, does anyone know if capacity in cars has been changed too.

AFAIK, there have been no announcements regarding vehicle occupancy and was not part of the Prime Ministers announcement. Fingers crossed that it changes soon!
Thankyou my friend.
So still none the wiser, typical spain, been to trafico today, thier not aware of 31st of October rumour that licence transfers have been, or are going to be extended.
Secondly couldn't advise me on vehicle occupancy, if they don't know who does.
Which reverts to original question, i thought trafico were in charge of road laws and people that are using them, lol.

The date for exchange of licences has been extended to 31st October today.
Here is the post from the UK embassy in Madrid. Hopefully this helps?
*Validity of UK driving licences extended to 31 October 2021*
We know that many of you have been anxious that the recognition of UK driving licences was set to end on 30 June. We are pleased that the Spanish Government yesterday announced that UK licences will continue to be recognised until 31 October 2021 for those of of you who were resident in Spain before 31 December 2020 – even if you did not get your residency document until after the end of the Transition Period. This extension applies whether you registered your intention to exchange your licence with the DGT before 30 December 2020 or not. You can see the Spanish Government’s announcement here: http://www.exteriores.gob.es/Portal/en/SalaDePrensa/NotasdePrensa/Paginas/2021_NOTAS_P/20210622_NOTA140.aspx?fbclid=IwAR2P1oSP9Ohs4xxvn-jlz22Xsq0KhUlwcZooZ1pZ2XxZFBbhEhsfKm1ppgo. Please note that if you arrived after 1 January, your licence will only remain valid for six months from your arrival in Spain.
This does not affect the current arrangements for driving licence exchange. If you did not register to exchange your licence with the DGT before 30 December 2020 and wish to exchange your UK driving licence now, you would need to follow the DGT process for non-EU nationals, which includes taking a driving test. However, negotiations are underway between the UK and Spanish Governments on arrangements for the future exchange of UK driving licences without the need for a practical test. As soon as we have further information on this we will share it here. And to stay updated on the latest information on driving in Spain, please sign up for alerts to gov.uk/livinginspain.
