Students from other countries who have valid full licences or International Driving Permits may normally drive in Britain for up to one year without further formality.
It is important to note that it is a serious offence to drive any kind of vehicle without a driving licence, a vehicle licence and a motor insurance policy valid in the United Kingdom.

Many students find it most convenient to hire bicycles

Services staff
