Hi Mikhail,

Yes, you can use both expressions and people will understand you, however the term ‘driver’s licence’ is the more common one.

Have a great day,
Rob

Hi Ignacio,
Many thanks for your message. The system in Spain sounds very much like the one in Australia, although it is not quite so expensive to get a licence here in Australia. We also have a points system for licensed drivers. You start with 12 demerit points and each offence means you lose some points. When you get down to 0, you lose your licence for 3 months. I like the idea of getting bonus points if you commit no offences.
Have a great day.

In Spain, having a driving licence is very expensive and you need to be 18 to get it. For getting the licence, you have to pass two exams: a witten one and a practical one. The lessons are taught only by official schools and are very expensive. Depending on your ability and the luck, the licecen may cost betwenn 500 and 1000 euros.
Once you get it, you are given 12 points but you make driving offences you loose some points depending of the offence: it´s the point system, also used in Germany, France and other european countries. If you don´t commit any infringement you get extra three points.

Thank you again for your generosity.
Every ten years, you have to renew the licence, passing a medical test.
