Provisional UK driver's licence validity in DE

Hi

I was wondering if any of you kind people could help...

I and my wife are moving to Germany (Bayreuth) in the next few weeks, and she has just passed her provisional driving licence in the UK. She has also passed the CBT test for driving her 50cc scooter in the UK.

The question is, can she bring her scooter across and use it in Germany? If there are any tests she would need to take, does anyone know which ones they are?

Also, as another question, can a full UK driving licence holder drive a scooter in Germany?

Many thanks for any replies...

Ian

I would ask DVLA to see if they could help you.

sorry I cant be of any help

I have found something that might be of use to you: UK driver's license validity in Germany

Thanks Smiffy - that link seems to apply to full UK licences rather than provisional... did I miss something in the post?

Ian

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Now clicked the link in the link (if you get what I mean) and read the text saying 'Licences with limited validity, e.g. learner's permits, are not accepted".

Thanks for the info, now to tell the wife!

Ian

Like I said I would just double check with the DVLA see what there views are.

I have a full UK licence here but I only drive a car haven't even thought about a bike but I am sure you have to take a test of somekind if I am wrong then I am off to go get me a bike...hehehehe

good luck in your move here

Yes but will have to get new papers - the question will be if it's worth it


If you have a full car licence you can ride a 50cc in Germany without taking a separate test


See above.

Like I said above the question is is it worth it to bring it over? What is it? If it's a Vespa I can help you out just PM me.
