    It’s a must have to get a UK Driver’s License these days as in Job market they ask straight away about the type of License we hold. It’s like another Proof of ID. Thanks for a video on this topic Ashika!

    Great explanation. Just want to add, you can make video on Applying for a Provisional license. Take it step by step. There is also some amount of confusion on " do I have to send my brp/passport in original if I have a share code and things like that."
    Ashika you are adding great value to your audience... Cheers, More Power To You

      @AbsolutelyAshika yes it is a sweet little town, and I loved it. My daughter is 14 years old and I am now searching for a good secondary school. Alt Wood and cox Green School are only offering in year admission for now.
      I have a few questions about my dog and how you are managing your dogs outside. I'm hoping to catch up with you on this, if that's not a problem. Thanks, and have a lovely Sunday.

Also, would you suggest preparing from these books or there are multiple apps online for learning, are they better? I’m confused. Your suggestion would help me a lot. Thank you!!

    Wonderful explanation! I currently have Irish licence and it’s almost the same lengthy and difficult process here as well. Attaining a Driving Licence in EU and UK is a big thing, whereas in US and Canada it’s way cheaper and easier process.

    So I'm a UK citizen with a passport, but I have only just moved "back into" the UK (never lived here in my life) With access to an address where I have now got my bank account (again recently) will I be allowed to apply straight away? or do I need to wait until 185 days have passed? if anyone knows, that would be amazing!

    I don’t think so you have to be in UK for 180 days or more to get your license
    I think the government site says that you need to have a PERMISSION to stay for more than 180 days in UK If you need to apply for a license.
    Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong in the comments
    That would be helpful. Thanks. 1:50

      If you are an overseas driver, you can still get insurance with your Canadian license and obviously easy with a UK license after you swap. I'd reco these guys: bit.ly/3Jyud5d

      Why do u need a UK Driving License?
      A driving license is required in England, Scotland, and Wales for any person driving a vehicle on any highway or other “road,” as defined ins.192 Road Traffic Act.
      Until the UK left the European Union on 1 February 2022, a UK driving license was a European driving license.

    Just a quick question. If I apply for provisional license will my international licence be void? As i can't find the rule, but have heard people geting fined for driving on provisional license while international licence still had some months to expire.

    However using that term "expat" instead of "immigrants" is not nice. It is a classist and r4cist term used by classist immigrants who don't want to be related to other immigrants.
    Let's not keep propagating terms like this which only divide and diminish others , please.

    • @AbsolutelyAshika
      @AbsolutelyAshika  Před rokem +2

      That's not true. Expats move temporarily, immigrants move permanently. You can read more here: www.expatriatehealthcare.com/whats-the-difference-between-an-expat-and-an-immigrant/#:~:text=The%20difference%20between%20an%20expat%20and%20immigrant&text=Often%2C%20an%20immigrant%20is%20seen,expats%20often%20find%20work%20abroad.
      I have no intention of being either classist or racist. I'm Indian, we've been at the receiving end for too long so I have no desire to promote such behaviour.
