Trying to Insure my son who lives in Norway to drive my car

This applies to people who are choosing to exchange their EU or other UK-recognized licenses for a UK one. If someone wants to keep their EU license in addition to having a UK one, all they need to do is sit a UK driving test and apply for one. The converse will be true for UK license holders moving abroad.

In many countries the decision to “choose” to swap your licence isn’t there. Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, for example consider that you’re driving without a licence if you’ve been a resident more than 6 months and are still driving on a UK/foreign licence. If you get caught, of course.

If you come back to the UK it’s as easy as swapping it back for a UK one.

The question I was answering is “why doesn’t your son have a UK licence” - it’s probable because he swapped it like a good law abiding citizen for a Norwegian one.

Why do so many people struggle with 'licence'? There's no 'S' involved. It's LICENCE.
