You seem to have reliable information about the failure of the pilots, I can accept that; but gettinī suspicious of misconduct of every pilot in Spain because the driving license system is not too good !!
I think you've misunderstood JM69's point - he's saying, if I understand correctly, that Spanish drivers leave a lot to be desired even though they have a substantial amount of training.
