Full UK license, same as EEC license?

[Eleathegreat]

I just passed my practical driving test yesterday. Passed it first time, yeah! :)

So the examiner told me that I have to wait 4 weeks until I receive the my license.

I need to drive also within Europe. Is the Full UK licence that will be sent to me already an EEC license? Or do I need to apply for a conversion?

How do I apply for a conversion?

Thanks.

It's valid. But if driving in Europe make sure you comply with their insurance regulations.

Hi - did you get a provisional licence as soon as you arrived in the UK - or do you have to wait?

Nop.. I applied/got my provisional licence only very recent. only last month actually :) ... took the theory test immediately and 2 weeks later the practical test.

You've got a point there. :)
