How old are you to drive in Britain? Driving test?

In Britain, 16 years old can apply for a temporary driver's license, but 17 years old can drive.

According to the Vienna Convention on International Road Traffic (1968), international driving permits are issued by the governments of signatory countries to facilitate domestic drivers to drive private vehicles in other signatory countries. International driver's license is an additional multilingual description attached to a country's driver's license.

Mark the basic information of the driver and the corresponding types of vehicles that are allowed to drive, and solve the communication obstacles between the driver and the traffic management departments of other countries. An international driver's license cannot exist independently. When a driver holds both a domestic driver's license and an international driver's license issued by the government, the international driver's license is considered valid.

Precautions:

1, international driver's license.

An international driver's license is only a translation proof of a valid domestic driver's license. It is not a driver's license itself, so it cannot be used alone, but it must be used at the same time as the driver's valid national driver's license. It is the national driver's license, not the international driver's license, that really gives the signatory countries the qualification to drive in China.

2. The international driver's license cannot be used in China.

According to the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic, holders of an international driver's license and a valid national driver's license can drive in more than 80 countries or regions such as Britain, the United States, France and Japan. However, China has not acceded to this convention, so holding an international driver's license cannot be used in Chinese mainland.

3. Provisions on driving in China with an overseas driving license.

Drivers with overseas driving licenses need to apply for Chinese motor vehicle driving licenses at the vehicle management department of the local public security organ. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving License" issued by the Ministry of Public Security, holders of overseas motor vehicle driving licenses should fill out the "Application Form for Motor Vehicle Driving License" and submit the applicant's identity certificate;
