UK driving licences, post Brexit.

Recommended Posts

New documents published by the European Commission show that they will reject UK driving licences as being valid for use in the EU after Brexit and intend to charge a fee for drivers in the form of a driving permit to be able to drive on the continent.

 

In the report, it seems that after Brexit formally happens, there will no longer be ‘mutual recognition of driving licences, vehicle registration documents and certificates of professional competence for drivers. All current EU law-based rights, obligations and benefits cease, meaning that our current driving regulations in relation to driving in the EU will change, but to what extent is currently unknown.

That’s fine, just return the insult, no wonder so many voted to leave the circus that is the EU, it is so rightly run by clowns. :loopy:

Don't worry - you'll be able to have a blue driving license instead! Think how wonderful that will be.

The OP's comment must have missed you:

Quite a joined-up system that made movement through the EU effortless.

Eu licences should not be recognised in the UK, it works both ways...

Yes must have, go to the States = no fee, no extra documentation.

 

Go over the channel = fees and extra documentation.

 

I await veiled insults.

It will be lmpossible to negotiate every aspect of current rights, surely passporting the lesser ones would be sensible.
