hollywood 0 Posted February 7, 2002 You can get your provisional at 17 in the UK...if you're already driving test standard I gues you could get a last minute cancellation and sit your test pretty much straight away (not sure how it works these days with the written test though...you might have to wait longer) Not sure if your UK licence would count in Europe straight away...got a sneaking suspicion you need to be 21...but again I could be completely wrong...it's some time since I had to worry about being to young for anything...ah well.

chickenman 0 Posted February 7, 2002 I know of a few uses of the word.... Nipper - young person (Most likely) Nipper - young life guard (Not likely) Nipper - Chinese person As for the road rules, surely there is a website that will tell you out there somewhere. I am from Australia, so I can't help with either countries road rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

el Gringo Loco 1 Posted February 7, 2002 You can get your licence in germany, If you lived there longer than half a year I think. BTW by german law you have to undergo a psychological test before you apply for a driver's licence. So maybe it will be a little easier for you to get your licence in the UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie_McSheenie 1 Posted February 7, 2002 I think as long as i don't tell them about this forum i can pass that psycological test i've lived in germany for 16 years (or 17 years when i turn 17 ) so does that mean i can get a german drivers license when i turn 17? despite the fact i'm a english citizen who can't even speak german very well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the Netherlands they change any driver's licence from a another country into a dutch one as long as you can prove that you've lived at least 6 months on a row in the country from which the foreign licence originates. BTW. Many germans come to holland to get their driver's licence, because here you don't have to undergo a psychological test. When they pass they trade their dutch licence in for a german one. I think in germany they don't have the rule that you must have lived for 6 months in the country where you got your foreign licence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
