Hi I am wondering if anyone drives a RHD car?  I have a EU registered car which I was thinking of bringing over and registering in Spain as cars are so expensive in Spain but I have had conflicting advice regarding this.  Someone saying I would have problems with tolls carparks and Police if driving a RHD vehicle.  I would appreciate any feedback you could give please.

I have had a RHD drive car in Spain for about 13 years.

Tolls & car parks etc are a bit annoying as if you are driving alone you have to get out & get your ticket / put you card in.

Never had a problem with the police at all.

Hi thank you so much.  I had quite a lot of advice on another forum (Camposol) one man said he would Never consider bringing a RHD car to Spain.  I usually have a passenger so tolls and car parks wouldn't be a problem its the re registration and light realignment costs I suppose I need to consider.  I just think the used cars seem so expensive in Spsin.  You have helped enormously thank you.
