llost driving license,for drink driving...

[luckyman]

if u lost ur uk driving license obviously u wouldnt be allowed to drive in uk/northern ireland/scotland/wales,,,,,,but could u drive or obtain a license in say holland? or any e.u country?

[pink-kittens]

You have to be resident in Holland for at least 185 days to obtain a Dutch driving license, so the answer is no you cannot drive whilst banned for drink driving (or any other reason for being banned either). You would need to be resident in any EU country to obtain a DL from that country

Thank God for both them and us !

and you would not be allowed to drive without a licence in any other EU country.

Tubeway is incorrect. The EU agreed a Convention, ten years ago, which meant that a driving ban in one EU country would apply in all other member states. However, it has still not yet been ratified by all member states, so it has not yet come into effect.

As Pink-Kittens states, some (most? all?) countries have residence qualifications before you can obtain a driving licence in that country. However, once you've obtained it, you can use it to drive in any EU country except the one where the driving ban is in force.
