UK Driving Licenses May No Longer Be Recognized In Europe after Brexit

Recognition of British driving licenses could be withdrawn after Brexit by EU states, meaning travelers would potentially be unable to hire cars or take out insurance.

They could be stopped from travelling on the continent after Brexit because UK driving licenses will no longer be recognized, the European Commission has suggested.

Failure to secure a deal on transport during the negotiations would see the mutual recognition of licenses among member states withdrawn, meaning travelers would also potentially be unable to hire cars or take out insurance.

The warning was issued in presentation slides released by the European Commission on Thursday morning, just hours before Theresa May and her Brexit ‘war' Cabinet were due to meet at Chequers to agree on the UK's final negotiating position.
