Hello Donracy,

@mimilyrics already responded but let me ask you. have you driven a RHD(Right Hand Drive) in the UK before?.

I'll give you my own advice based on experience.Even if you get an international driver's license,if you don't know how to drive a RHD or have never driven in the UK and don't know the road signs, speed limit or even how to use a SatNav trust me you will have so much fine to pay the international license will be as good as useless.

If you break the rules and get points on your license,your insurance will be way too high, plus you can have a 6points penalty and have your international license revoked if you aren't careful.

Advice: When you get into the UK, apply for provisional license,get your lessons done( target block lessons), pass your theory and practical test.

Do them from the scratch and save yourself the stress. The only difference is that you don't need the learn somethings that learners without experience do like parts of a car etc. But driving in the UK is as good as learning from the beginning.

Cheers

Donracy:
To whom according to his need and to whom according to his ability.

noblealuu:


Maybe wanna be doing UBER as side hustle when lecture-free�

Donracy:
I think this is the best approach.

Please how do i get access to any app of sort or link to the website so I can start practicing ?

Why don't you get to UK first, settle down before rush talk of driving licence. Uk has a very good public transport system and insurance for first time drivers is expensive .

Driving in Uk with the rules and everything is totally different from Nigeria and so is the record keeping. It takes almost 3 years for some points in licence to clear and some can become a problem during ILR application , while some accumulated points makes them take your licence ....Don't go and rush and create future problems for yourself. Some things should be taken as baby steps

Had the same issue with my school certificate, I spoke to a lawyer about it and he told me to do Notary Public(newspaper publication plus affidavit), and that’s what I did.

Donracy:
Thank you.

I don't have the intention of driving immediately during my studies. Like I said earlier,I asked if having a drivers license from Nigeria would reduce the number of driving lessons one must take before getting a license there and I was looking at Post Graduate work permit era not during studies.

But some people are very quick to conclude and judge. There is nothing wrong in one making plans ahead.

And for the records, I have not been in Nigeria for some years now, I just came back cos of my visa, talking about Nigerian way of driving, I can't even remember because there in the UAE they have strict rules of driving even more than UK. So someone saying I may drive using naija mentality is just based on his assumptions.

Cheers.

It appears you are really focussed on this UK driving waka. Let’s assume you even get the international license which allows you to drive in the UK for 1 year, have you considered the car you will be driving? Do you already have a car? Or you want to buy a car as sooN as you get there? Or maybe you have a friend or relation who is already there and who is happy to put you as an additional driver of their Car? Is immediate driving in the UK really necessary for you? Maybe you need to cool down a little and think carefully about car things...

Mobilipia:
@mimilyrics I sent you an email please.sorry for invading your privacy.

Benediktejike:
Mimilyrics, pls do i have to take a printed copy of my application form to the interview or i should just print the checklist.

Oloshi83:
Just the document checklist. It’s an online application so you don’t need to print the whole thing out.

SAMDEEA123:


I advise her to try and call the home office or pray to receive a call from the home office (2nd interview)

TimAke:
New to this thread and asking for a friend.

Is it okay to use a business account owned by the dad in which he is the sole signatory. If yes are there any other supporting documents that would be required?

Thanks in advance.

naledis:



No. The account has to be in the applicants name. Alternatively your friend can use his parents’ account and include a birth certificate with the application to prove the relationship.

TimAke:
If I get you correctly, he can only use the parent’s personal account not their business account (even though they are the sole signatory and has documents to prove that), yea?

Same here @mimilyrics , I would like to send you a message. But may I ask if it is compulsory to pay for an accommodation now? In case I may be asked where or proof of where I will be staying? Can you advise? I have paid my visa fees and interview in 2 weeks...
