Consequences for driving away from test with international licence

Monday, 22 September 2025 18:55

Driving away from a failed test with only an international licence would probably land you in court, according to the Island's Home Affairs Minister.

Jayne Poole-Wilson was asked a question for written reply by Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse about licence restrictions.

He wanted to know about those with international driving licences who leave the centre in Tromode with no one else in their car.

In response, the minister said it would probably invalidate their insurance, and they would be liable to prosecution.
