	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>In Great Britain, the law allows new residents with valid driving licences issued by countries outside the EU/European Economic Area (EEA) to drive for up to one year from the date they become a resident.

Although they can continue to drive as a GB provisional licence holder, provided that they adhere to the rules applying to provisional licences.</p><p> </p><p>Driving licences issued by EU and EEA member states are mutually recognised and can be exchanged without the need to take a test.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/05/2019 10:13:48 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
