    On being taken to a police station are you informed the results of any breath tests ,how many have you to give? do you also have to give Urine/blood samples? Is your vehicle impounded until the court case?

    I was stopped and found to have 0.88mg after a breath test. Does anyone know the likely penalty in a Spanish court?

    Tony , you are likely to get a fine of between 300 and 1000 euros depending on the circumstances and a driving ban is usually applicable. Of course this ban is not valid in the UK.

    Dear Jackie,

    it all depends on the length of the ban, for example…… if the ban was upto 12 months it would show on record for 6 months, however it was over 12 months it would show for 3 years and finally if the ban was over 3 years it would show on record for 5 years.

    i trust this helps.

    I was fined €2,200, 180 hours community service and nine month ban in 2010 for drink driving in Spain.
    I decided to leave the country to live in Portugal as I couldn’t afford to pay the fine.
    Would this conviction still be pending after 13 years or would no longer exist?
    I thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
