    You can't add him to your 01 plate car though.


    He can, but only if he transfers the plate to an older car to make it look newer... ;)

    I'd say direct.gov is very badly written, and should say whichever is the shorter period

    No, it's written correctly.

    You can drive on an EU licence until you're 70 or, if you are within 3 years of your 70th birthday, you must exchange your licence after 3 years.

    You would then go onto the normal 3 year renewal cycle for the over 70s

    sorry where did you get this information from?? Cyprus is part of the EU so he should be free to drive with his Cypriot license for as long as he likes :huh:

    Not if he's from Northern Cyprus on a TRNC licence ;) then it is 12 months
