Seven provinces of Castile and Leon lack driving licence examiners

As of August 2, 2026, seven out of nine provinces in Castilla y León face a shortage of driving examiners from the Spanish Directorate General of Traffic (DGT), according to local driving schools. This issue is exacerbated during the summer months when traffic professionals take vacations, and young people often use their school breaks to obtain a driver’s license. The problem highlights operational challenges in maintaining sufficient examiner availability to meet demand.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about a logistical challenge faced by the DGT in Castilla y León without overtly criticizing or praising any political entity. It focuses on the administrative issue rather than taking a partisan stance, thus leaning toward center.
