When can you take a UK driving test if you’re from a non-designated country (like India and others)?
First, you must apply for a UK provisional licence, pass the theory test, and then book your practical driving test.
How long can you drive without a full UK licence? And what about drivers from designated countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, UAE, and South Africa?
You can exchange your licence within 5 years of becoming a UK resident (your landing date counts as day one).
