New changes to motorcycle licence rules in Spain

Later this year, the traffic authorities in Spain will make a series of changes that will affect all motorbike riders

In 2023, Spain witnessed an alarming increase in road fatalities, with 299 lives lost, marking a 19% rise from the previous year. In response, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, the Minister of the Interior, unveiled a new set of measures aimed at reducing these statistics, particularly among motorcyclists. These measures hope to positively impact the safety of drivers and ultimately decrease the number of road accidents in Spain.

No date has yet been set for the roll-out of the new regulations, but it will happen at some stage in 2024.

One of the biggest changes relates to licences. Up until now, anyone who held a full driving licence for more than three years was also allowed to ride a motorbike up to 125cc. At some point this year, this will be rescinded and anyone who doesn’t already hold a specific motorcycle licence will need to take a new test to continue riding this size bike.

The traffic authorities also plan to force motorcyclists to wear a full face or modular helmet, as well as approved motorcycle gloves.

If these changes concern you or you simply want to keep abreast of the latest developments and requirements, contact Heniam & Associates. The dedicated team is keeping a close eye on this matter and will ensure you are kept informed about what the changes will mean for you.
