That’s a boomer tho. But I really appreciate the response, that’s them main reason I came on the forum to ask. That way I can avoid trouble

Hello,

With the provisional license you can't use your international (Nigerian) driver's license anymore, it replaces it.

You can't have 2 types of licenses being used at the same time (UK frowns at things like this, it feels like trying to outsmart the system and that's not good)

Make sure you don't break the rules and drive alone, if you are caught it's a big issue

Cheers

Thanks for the response I already have a uk provisional license and currently using that to drive, the only issue with using the provisional is someone with a UK driving license has to always be with you in the car

duchess90:
Hello,

You need to have an insurance and ensure the car you use is taxed and has MOT.

An extra set of questions: Can you drive right hand? Do you know the UK road signs and rules?

I ask because driving in the UK is not the same with Nigeria, if your answers are No to those questions then I will advise you to take your time and learn/unlearn/relearn

Cheers

Hi, I have read that I can use my Nigerian driving license in the uk for upto 12 month I just want confirm if there is anything I need to do before I start using it to drive

justwise:


Go to police station in your city here and get finger print done, used to cost £20 but i'm not sure now. Send to a friend or relative in Nigeria to be taken to CID/police station to get you police report then they will send it back to you.

Thanks

Thank I appreciate the thing complex Shia

Hello sir,

You might be asked some questions and you might not be questioned at all. This is at the discretion of the entry clearance officer.

Secondly, it is mandatory we pay for a day 2 and day 8 Covid 19 test. This costs between £70 and £119.

Upon doing this, you must fill a enger locator form 48hours before your flight and on this form you must include the details of the day 2 and the day 8 tests you must have paid for earlier.

I hope this is clear.

Thank you.
It’s very helpful. Please how can I get the enger locator form?
And how do I go about paying for the covid test in uk
