Can you use a north American driving licence in the uUK?

Answer 1

I'm from Holland where we drive right. We went on holiday to the UK (where they drive left) and my father (with driving license from a country where they drive right) can drive there so the answer is YES. You can also drive in the US with a UK license.

Answer 2

The Answer is that you need to get a IDL (International Driving License) from UK which would be accepted at most of the DMV Offices accross United States of America. There is a best non-gov site for information about a state and general info which is http://www.dmv.org/ but I suggest you go to the state's dmv site for more accurate information which you plan to visit or drive in.

Answer 3

Yes. Most countries have reciprocal agreements though you need to get an international licence for many countries. These usually have a small administrative charge

An American does not need an international license to drive a car in the UK.

An International Drivers license is basically a multiple language translation of your drivers license, and does not replace your regular license. It is not a license to operate a motor vehicle on its own.

Answer 4

If your licence is full and valid, you can drive any small vehicle (i.e. car or motorcycle) listed on your licence for up to 12 months from when you enter the UK. If you plan to be within the UK for more than 12 months, you will need to apply for a UK driving licence before those first 12 months are up.

Answer 5

Yes you can for up to one year, and then you have to get a UK licence.

Answer 6

It is best to apply for an International driver's license

Answer 7

Answer 8
