Lithuanian DL question

CKhalvashi

Hey all,

I've had an employee drop driving documents off so she can switch departments (she needs to go on the company insurance as she'll be driving a company van), and she's handed me a Lithuanian DL.

She's worked for us for about 5 years, and I'm just wondering whether she's allowed to drive in the UK (I thought it was after a year it had to be changed). I've already checked with the insurance, and it's anyone over 23 that can drive our vehicles, as long as they have a valid license.

Any ideas/pointers?

From what I recall because Lithuania is part of the EU she can keep driving in the UK after a year without needing to get a UK driving license, I think the only limit is reaching 70 years old or something?

The year limit you refer to is for those with a driving license outwith the EU I believe.

Bingo, thanks John!

I thought this was the case, just wanted to make sure, as it's me that gets in trouble if she's caught in one of our vehicles.

Why not check this with the insurance company?
