Do I apply for a UK Licence?

[London Irish]

Hi all,

I have moved over from Ireland and have just swithed to a UK reg....I HATE THE NUMBER OF SPEED CAMERAS IN THIS COUNTRY......

Anyhow, should I apply for a UK licence? Any advantages to having two licences are am I better off just with my EEC licence? Have heard that if I get stopped it will be an automatic court appearance where I do not have a UK licence.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

A.

Thanks Streaky. I have been at times accused of taking out of my Erse.....but that is another matter.

Any more helpful posts?

Keeping Irish plates is not possible if I want to insure my car here......I have changed to UK plates (it is the law after all!).

Quisler, provided your (EEC) licence remains valid you may drive in GB until aged 70 or for 3 years after becoming resident whichever is the longer period......thus I have another 52 years before I need to worry!

Thanks for the responses. I think I will hang on to the Irish licence and put up with the inconvenience of a court appearance if I get stopped for speeding.
