Hi everyone, 

 

Is there a website to do research on whether one is allowed to drive in the UK with a foreign driver's licence? Also, is there a procedure to change that licence to a UK licence? 

 

Thanks, 

 

Vinay

Thanks, Chris! Looks like I have 12 months to use my licence :)

I thought it was 12 months too, but pretty sure I heard a shorter period banded about in all the Brexit chat????

 

Maybe it was to do with using a foreign registered vehicle and/or insurance - things you might need to look in to too.

Thankfully, no plans to bring the Mini over to the UK anytime soon. Perhaps one day if I get a long-term job in the country it might be something to consider.
