The government has said that after March 2019 “your driving licence may no longer be valid by itself” in the EU, in its latest no-deal planning papers.
To be able to drive your vehicle in the EU an application may be needed to gain an international driving permit for UK citizens. This could impact on recreational drivers but would severely impede commercial drivers ability to carry out their jobs.
An international driving permit is required to drive in Japan, some US states and other countries outside of EU zone.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
