    Hey, just got this question here:
    After getting my full license, would I be allowed to drive internationally on roads straight away? or is there specific time that has to pass? In my case I would plan to get to UK , then to france and then to spain, in summer, but not sure if I would be allowed?

    You full licence will cover you within the EU.
    It will cover you outside the EU for a holiday, but some places require you to get a local licence if you are staying more than 30 days.

    The alternative is to get an temporary International Licence from the AA.

    If you are staying within the EU you'll be grand.

    Yes, you can use your full licence in any of the EU states.

    Some countries outside the EU may require an International Driving Permit, but for the example you have described, it is unnecessary.
