UK DRIVING LICENSE
Hi There,
I am a 30 years old UK born citizen, who lived out of UK for last 20 years, I do have UAE valid driving license, but I would like to get a UK driving license with not much headache!! Does anybody have any suggestion on this matter?
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Re: UK DRIVING LICENSE
as bc says you will have to go to uk and do the test, you cannot change your uae licence for a uk one, uae are very nice to us to allow us to swap our licence, but it only works one way.

You will probably have to be a UK resident also or at least have a UK address with supporting utility bills.

Unless you know anyone selling fake licences in which case; you'll not need to take the test 'cos you'll end up inside!

Getting a UK license, there's the computer part, the theory part and then the practical part.
