Can I drive in the UK with my Turkish driving licence?

Yes, for a limited time. If you hold a full, valid Turkish driving licence, you can drive cars and motorcycles in Great Britain for up to 12 months from the date you become resident. Turkey is not on the list of countries whose licences can simply be exchanged for a British one, so before your 12 months run out you need to apply for a UK provisional licence, then pass the theory test and the practical driving test. Start early: test waiting lists can be several months long. While you drive on your Turkish licence, you must still meet UK rules, including insurance in your own name, vehicle tax and a valid MOT for the vehicle. If you keep driving after 12 months without a UK licence, your insurance may be invalid and you can be prosecuted.
