[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 1196972, member: 537"] Sorry to derail the thread. I was just making a comparison between what strikes me as two similar issues. I’ve been through at least four drunk driver and routine document checks on Spanish roads, all conducted by the Guardia Civil. I’ve never been asked for an international drivers license, but I did have to show my US license and the rental papers. Maybe I’m just lucky, but that experience has led me to stop giving $$$ to the American Automobile Assoc. for an international license, just like I’ve stopped bringing along a list of our prescriptions. I don’t think I’m a wild and crazy risk-taker, but of course it’s up to each individual to decide what you want to do. I think the different perspectives and experiences helps forum members make up their own minds. @J Wilhaus is right that the law allows the GC to impose a fine of 250€ (or 500 € for a vehicle larger than a regular car), so the cost of the international license is really trivial in comparison. I just don’t want to give my money to an automobile industry lobbyist. :p Anyway, back to medications, I have also been lucky in that way, but like you, I think the better course is to bring what we need with us.
