If you are the holder of an ordinary driving licence (car, moped, motorcycle entitlement) and provided your licence remains valid, you can drive any category of small vehicle shown on your licence for up to 12 months from the time you became resident.
To ensure continuous driving entitlement a provisional GB licence must have been obtained and driving test(s) passed before the 12-month period elapses. If you obtain a provisional licence during this period, you are not subject to provisional licence conditions eg displaying 'L' plates or being supervised by a qualified driver or being precluded from motorways.
However, if you do not pass a test within the 12-month concessionary period you will not be allowed to drive as a full licence holder and provisional licence conditions will apply. If you do not apply for a provisional licence within the first 12 months you must stop driving and obtain a British provisional licence with a view to passing a driving test. Provisional licence conditions will then apply.
If you are the holder of a foreign driving licence and want to change to a Great Britain (GB) driving licence there are certain conditions that need to be considered when applying. See here for the details:

Depends what country you are from and do you have a licence from that country? husbands co- workers from africa have full african driving licence but no allowed to drive in UK, Polish workers can drive in UK for 1st year. Check the DV LA website for the answers. If you do not have a licence you apply to DV LA for a provisional licence and take driving lessons and then theory test and then driving test. |
