I Am Legal

After a 3 month process, I passed my British driver's test today.  My Mini is a manual transmission, so I was required to take the test in a manual car which is a more difficult test.  The on-road test pass rate is 43%.


American ex-pats have 12 months from arrival to get their license, but you can only start the process after being a resident for 6 months.  Given the process is so onerous, many ex-pats drive illegally in Britain, but the police have been cracking down on this.  If they catch you, they impound your car until you get your license!


I am so relieved to be a legal British driver.

    Hi Linda,

    Saw your comments on JCA, glad one of us has the brains to work out the mark up, that is shocking.
