Learning to Drive in the UK as a Foreign Licence Holder (Part 2)
This is the second part to our mini series on learning to drive in the UK as a foreign licence holder. Watch part 1 here: czcams.com/video/-vAiBgON6tU/video.html.
In this video, I discuss my experience with the final part of the process - the practical driving test, as well as buying my first car in the UK. The practical driving test can only be taken when you have a provisional UK licence and have passed the theory test.
The test itself is fairly straightforward and takes approximately 40 minutes. During this time, an examiner will ask you to do a number of tasks, such as following road signs or manoeuvres (e.g. parallel parking).
The scoring system is based on minor mistakes and major mistakes. Anyone who has either 1 major mistake during the 40 minutes or more than 15 minor mistakes will fail. Fortunately, I was able to pass on my first attempt - though I have heard of many expats and UK citizens alike take a few attempts to pass.

Learning to Drive in the UK as a Foreign Licence Holder (Part 1)
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 7 lety
As an American driving licence holder, my licence is only valid in the UK for 1 year after my arrival date - after that, foreign licence holders need to acquire a UK driving licence. In this video I talk about that process, from obtaining a provisional licence to the driving lessons I took & the theory test. Although the process is fairly similar for UK citizens, there were a couple of small di...
Life Update #1 - Where Have We Been?

We haven't posted a video in almost 2 months now! In this brief life update we explain what we've been up to in that time and why we haven't been able to post as often as we would have liked to. The past few months have certainly been full of 'firsts' for us - but now that life seems to be settling down, we hope to continue to upload new videos every Sunday.

In this edition of #AskBritishHusbands, Chris and Ashley discuss their thoughts on American holidays that do not exist in the UK.

What Do You Think About the British Accent? (Ask Expat Wives #3)

As American expats living in the UK, one of the questions we hear most often from friends and family back home is, "Can you bring me back a British guy? I love their accents." Since living in the UK however, it has become apparent that there isn't just one quintessentially British accent. In fact, much like the US - it will very much vary depending on where you are. Of course, there are the reg...

    A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. Anuge) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND. Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. Anuge and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.

I used to go sailing in France Belgium Holland for months on end. But it was lovely to find new foods and treats that's part of the fun some American thing you could make yourself

In the UK you're never too far from the country side, but I lived on the coast & miss the sea. I miss the closeness of the shops & public transport, having not to drive everywhere. I agree with the customer service statement I feel uncomfortable when shop staff or waiter/waitresses are hovering around you every 5 mins.
