Your Licence is not a licence for you to drive in UK and it cannot be exchanged with the UK Licence. If you hold a Malaysian International Licence (MIL) and you are a student, you MAY DRIVE in UK for a maximum period of ONE YEAR from the date of first entry into UK. If your course duration in the University is over One year, you are advised to get a UK Valid Licence. Go to the nearest Post Office and get the free FORM D1 (application for a driving licence) or FORM D70 (application for photocard driving licence) for a fee of £29.00 (Provisional). If you already know how to drive, make a booking with your local Driving Schools eg. BSM etc. for a couple of hours to ‘familiarise yourself and throwing bad habits of driving’. Once you are ready then apply for a Driving Test (normally 2 months – depending on area- after you receive your Provisional Licence. The UK Full Driving Licence at £18.00 (no renewal unless you are banned from driving) is valid till your 70th.Birthday!..
