    Absolutely loved this video! Really helpful. I was planning on starting my preparation for theory test and this is a perfect roadmap to my plan. Thank you! 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!!

    Very helpful video but I'm nervous now. 4 times on practical tests means 3000 pounds. That's more than what a car would cost

      Yes, but you must have a full UK licence holder with you at all times and display an L plate

    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!

    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!

    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

  • @iprateek07
    @iprateek07 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    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.

    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  ปีที่แล้ว +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.
