Deciding whether or not to allow immigrants to drive using their native license should obviously be dealt with on a per-country basis.
– Does your country have a robust test and licensing system comparable to the UK’s?
Fine.
– Is your country’s driving license obtained by driving to the end of a dirt road and back? Or is it estimated that up to 1 in every 2 driving licenses in your country has been obtained fraudulently?
Why the fuck have we ever been allowing that.
Reduce the amount of time they can use their native licences and have it so that certain countries, where their test is unsatisfactory by UK standards, where their licence is never valid.
It’d be nice if this sub had UKers commenting on UK affairs, wouldn’t it?
For a start, they’d spell ‚licence‘ correctly.
And they’d probably say yeah, this needed sorting when Harry Dunn was killed by a US diplomat’s wife who ran away and claimed immunity.
Decision are made on a mutual treaty basis. Basically, If UK-licenced drivers want to be able to drive in foreign countries then we agree to let foreign licence-holders drive in the UK. There is normally a 12 month limit on such agreements. The coroner can urge whatever he/she likes, it won’t change anything. Tragic events like this are very rare and nobody is going to shred international agreements when there might have serious adverse economic consequences.
