NEW-STYLE practical driving tests will come into force across Spain on January 21.

The new assessment will include an ‘autonomous driving’ section of 10 minutes or so, where the ex¬aminer will give minimal instructions such as: ‘Go to the bullring via the town hall’ — and the pupil will be required to simply drive there.

Drivers will also be given the option of using a GPS system to help them during their practical test.
