taking motorbike test in spain

[princess peach]

I have just been in touch with a spanish company regarding taking my motorbike test(thanks hedonist ).
however,i have a UK driving licence.I presume i would need to change my uk licence for a spanish one in order to take/pass and have new details of passing motorbike test put onto it.
I asked the woman on the phone from the company and she just kept saying yes i will help you to everything i asked her-as if she didnt really understand the questions.
so in order to take my bike test-will i need to change my uk licence for a spanish one first?,or can my spanish bike test pass be added onto my uk licence?(as it is eu-with the circle of stars)
Thanks.

Don't know owt about the test but it must be easy the way the Spanish ride about.A blind man on horse back should pass it.

why do you think im taking it!!!!haha...

[princess peach]

well,i went to the trafico today and im no further forward as to understanding what i have to do first-lessons or change the licence..It seems i have a few problems...and a few hurdles to get over.
this bloody place drives me nuts sometimes! GRRRRR

DO you really have to combine the 2??? if i were you i wouldnt try and just get a spanish bike licence and not worry about having the endorsement on your uk one, as changeing that is a hassel all to itself if you no longer have an address in the uk, infact i think its near on impossible without a uk address.
My advice would be to keep them seperate if possible that way if you do get any points on your bike licence in spain wouldnt affect your uk driving licence...

You cannot have a driving licence in more than one country.

Why not???? i do
Have a car and bike licence from the middle east
bike from uk
and international as well.....
never caused me any problems or hassels

Reevesy-I was thinking along the same lines myself.
I will still need a provisional bike licence first tho wont i to actually take motorbike lessons?(as i havnt got a driving licence..nudge nudge wink wink)am i correct in thinking that?.I do have a UK address-so once my bike test was passed,it wouldnt be a problem in sending it all off to be added if i wanted to-but i agree it would be a good idea in keeping the licences seperate.

Gerry's talking about the EU!

An international driving licence is basically worthless unless you have the original to back it up!
