Domande Frequenti

How long can I drive in the UK with my foreign license?

You can drive in the UK for 12 months using your foreign license. After that, you must either exchange it (if from a designated country) or take the UK driving test.

Do I need to take a test if I'm from the EU?

Post-Brexit, EU license holders have 12 months to exchange their license. The process depends on your specific country and when your license was issued.

What's special about the UK hazard perception test?

The UK's hazard perception test uses video clips where you must click when you see a developing hazard. Clicking too early, too late, or in a pattern can affect your score.

Should I get manual or automatic license?

If you pass in a manual car, you can drive both manual and automatic. If you pass in automatic, you can only drive automatic cars. Manual is more flexible.
