im guessing the topic was too near the knuckle or the mods are currently having relationship issues... :p

so next random question is going to be...

does a driving licence from somewhere like czech republic or poland count in this country?

ie could i add someone onto my insurance who doesnt have an english licence?
 
Cool, so you're having sex with an Eastern European who sleeps naked & hasn't got an English driving license, next thread please.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it would be valid.

cool.... i know nothing about this thing and it was purely curiosity. the dvla website is bloody useless tbh as i had a quick look but nothing concrete stuck out.
 
on the slim chance this is a proper question a foreign driving license is valid for 6 months for most countrys but I think some are excluded.

hehe believe it or not yes it is a valid question....

funnily enough the other thread got more serious answers. :confused:

i remember someone saying about a 12 month thing but i cant find anything about it.
 
maybe eu countrys?

I was wrong, 6months is just for cars.

Can I use my domestic licence in England?
For driving in Britain you won't need an international driving licence if your driving licence is a EU style (pink) one and/or includes a clear description in English. If your licence isn't in English, it may be useful to have a translation in the unlikely event that the police stop you. You are entitled to drive for a year in Britain without getting a British licence.

Driving in the UK

During your first year in Britain, an International Student may drive a motor vehicle with a valid overseas driving license or an International Driving permit. If you wish to drive after this time, you must apply for a provisional UK license before the year ends, and pass a Department of Transport driving test. With a provisional license you are not permitted to drive without being accompanied by someone who has a 'full' UK license and has passed the Department of Transport test.

European Economic Area nationals and nationals of countries with which the UK has made an agreement may drive a small vehicle such as a car on a valid community licence until either it expires or they reach 70.

A community license may be exchanged for a British License without taking a test.
DVLA leaflet 100, obtainable form post offices, gives a clearer description of the rules relating to driving licenses and also lists countries with which the UK has an agreement.
For further information see the DVLA website www.dvla.gov.uk.
Or look at the UKCOSA guidance note www.ukcosa.org.uk/images/driving.pdf.
