As a matter of interest, what was the ban for? To have received a three year disqualification in any country must suggest a pretty serious offence. Whatever happens, you will have to declare it to your insurer and I can imagine that you will simply get a refusal to insure you and when you eventually get insured – when you get your licence back, you will be paying a pretty substantial premium.

 

I don't know what the situation is like in Latvia but in this country driving without insurance – which is pretty well the same as having lied to your insurance company and having your insurance revoked – is an extremely serious offence. It is also a reckless disregard for any victims of an accident you might have.

Yeah, it was one of the stupidest things you can do... Drunk driving.

I understand that I'd have to tell all this to the insurance company, but am I allowed to drive with an instructor? Haven't driven in 3 years so I'd like to start again, well, sort of.

Thank you for all the replies

I guess that is some good news, although I want everything to be legal. Hopefully it's okay to drive in the UK if you're banned somewhere else.

Hopefully you're right. Thanks

No, I get that.

My question is - can I apply for a new driving licence here, in the UK, and drive with a provisional one if I'm banned in Latvia?

Thanks for the replies, guys, I appreciate it!

No, Latvian one.

I haven't driven in the UK yet, don't have the insurance.

I found so many things, that if you're banned from Ireland, you're also banned from the UK and vice versa. Nothing else though, other countries weren't mentioned, that's why I'm so confused.

Thanks for the reply.

Hello, peeps.

Long story short - 3 years ago I got banned in Latvia from driving (4 years total).

I was wondering - am I allowed to drive in the UK if Latvia's ban is still in force?

I tried to find some info on this subject but found nothing.

Cheers.

P.S. I know, I know, I'm an idiot for losing my licence in the first place
