Moving to the UK
If you are a resident of Great Britain and have a valid car or motorcycle licence from an EU country, you can drive in Great Britain on that licence.
If you are 68 or over when you become resident, you can drive for 3 years. After that your licence must be exchanged.
If you reside in Great Britain and hold a valid licence from a designated country (e.g. Andorra, Australia, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Falkland Islands, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland and Zimbabwe), check driving licence exchange requirements on the official DVSA website (gov.uk)
