Can you use driving school car during a driving test?

Why are you sitting another Driving Test anyway?

You have a full Hungarian Licence which allows you to drive here.

Please don't dissuade non-UK licence holders from taking another test here - I think it is very sensible and something that should be actively encouraged.

The standards vary massively across the EU - it was less than ten years ago that driving without a licence became a criminal offence in Spain. Lessons rarely involve any hands on "practical" driving as it's normal to share a care with three others and to take it in turns behind the wheel. They believe people people take more in by watching others... Whilst that is probably true, you cannot beat actually handling a car for yourself.

Driving convention is also very different, a flash of the lights for example being the EU recognised sign for "I'm coming through, get out of my way". It is similar in meaning to what it says in the Highway Code but is actually used completely differently by convention in the UK.

I work with 2 Italians who came over to the UK when we first joined the EU solely to take their driving tests as our tests were much easier than the ones in Italy.

Now, ours has much the same criteria and requirements as the Italians had back in the 1970's.

Maybe he forgot what he probated previously in one of his multiple sign ins?

A UK court can order a foreign national with an EU Licence to resist the test that they never say in the UK anyway?

And since when was Hungary a country with poor driving standards or a joke test?

A UK court can order anyone to sit a test if convicted of certain offences.

Who said it did?

It may have a fantastic standard of driving with a comprehensive test, but it will still differ from the UK standards and rules will be different.

The traffic related death rate in Hungary is 3 or 4 times that of the UK. That doesn't necessarily mean poorer driving standards, but it must be a strong possibility.
