Driving Ban. Where can i drive?

[Dan123412]

Hi, im banned from driving. I live in England. Ive heard the Isle of Man has different laws to us. Would i be legal to drive over there if i passed my test again?

Thanks, Dan

no,if you are banned from driving,it applies worldwide

A disqualification from driving, imposed by a UK court, does not apply worldwide. You can obtain a driving licence in another country and use it in that country and all other countries which recognise it (excluding the UK and those territories with which the UK has reciprocal agreements).

However, since 23/05/05, there's been a reciprocal agreement in place between Great Britain & Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man. Driving bans imposed by British courts now apply on the Isle of Man, and vice versa.

You could, of course, try Jersey.

Thanks Chris, that was a very helpfull answer.

there are still countries that allow people to drive with no licence at all!!!!

You could obtain a licence in Jersey if you moved there to live, a fairly draconian step taking into account Jersey Housing and Employment laws!
