A question about driving licences....
My DD has come up with an idea to get her driving licence before her friends here, I don't know if it is 'legal' or even possible.
If, when she is 16, my DD applies for her learner's permit and spends a year learning to drive and becoming competent, then goes back to the UK where she can take her test at 17 - Can she use her British licence to drive here - with or without P plates? Would she be able to change her UK licence for a Victorian one? As she is one of the youngest in her year she is keen to keep up with the others! Thanks |

Thanks for the info. I would prefer for my DD to have a year of driving before being able to go out on her own, so we might skip the trip to the Isle of Man!
