Driving on an International Driving Licence

We get requests all of the time for Drivers currently holding a full non UK licence outside of the UK but only possessing an International Licence for driving on UK roads. Remember that this licence currently only allows you to drive for a maximum of 12 months in the UK then YOU MUST take and Pass the UK driving tests. In order to apply for the UK driving test (Theory then Practical) you must first apply for a Provisional Licence in order for you to be able to book the theory test and once you receive your UK Provisional Licence, your International Licence (and most probably your insurance) become invalid. You cannot legally drive without being suitably accompanied and insured - the penalty is quite severe for not following the law. Find yourself a decent instructor, if it isn’t us there are many fine Driving Schools in the area. Remember - Keep it safe, Keep it legal!
