Boring I know, but according to the UkGov if we don’t have a deal ,we will have to buy an international driving licence from the Post Office for around £6.00, in order to drive there. Huh. Valid for 1 year.

It seems implausible that a US driver doesn't need an International Permit but we would.

Obviously a reciprocal agreement would need to be decided so there might be a short period when rules were not clear.
This is why the transition period was set up, it will generally be assumed things go on as they are now unless a change is agreed.

No transition in a no deal.

A 'no-deal' Brexit will start a recession. I'm sure paying £6 for an international driving license will be of little significance! Smile

Along with 4% interest rates and a 30% drop in house prices?

You get them from the post office in larger cities. Fill in the form, give them a photo and six quid. You get one about 5 minutes later.

From the bumf referenced above:

"From 1 February 2019, the government will begin providing IDPs. From this date, you will be able to apply for both 1949 and 1968 types of IDP at 2,500 Post Offices across the UK. We will announce which Post Office branches will offer IDPs in early 2019.

Currently getting an IDP over a Post Office counter takes around 5 minutes on a turn-up-and-go basis."

Ah "Project Fear" for the hard of thinking again. I'll highlight the usual bullshit part of this...

After March 2019 if there’s no deal
Your driving licence may no longer be valid by itself when driving in the EU.

If you move to another EU country to live, you may not be able to exchange your licence after the UK has left the EU.


Or to cut the bullshit, "you must all allow Teresa's Remain in all but name deal or the world may end".

You'd think they'd know wouldn't you?


So project Donk doesn't know the answer then.

I rode a motorbike on Gran Canaria, didn't need an international Driving licence. It's not in the EU.

The channel islands aren't in the EU either, pretty sure Jersey people can drive in France.

There is no answer because it's just propaganda aimed at people like you, too daft to see through it.

Both sides sling shit, but anyone that can't see that the side they support does do it it is the daft one. All too often, it's lapped up by knuckle dragging, xenophobic, conspiraloons like you, or your polar opposite that want a full Euro republic.

I'll pay £6 per type if I want to go on a jaunt through Europe. It's not exactly a worst case scenario, is it?

Such a hard ship. If we have had to do that for the last 30 years it would have cost me in total a big fat ZERO.

I have also heard that after Brexit we will have to move the steering wheel to the other side of the car before driving in Froggyland.

Gran Canaria is most certainly in the EU. I went to Tenerife last year, and they made a big thing of being the most southerly province within the EU.

It truly baffles me how people some up with these figures.
I imagine it's with a crystal ball. For the house prices to drop 30% would mean less people wanting houses, which I really can't see happening. Then again, house prices need to drop about 50% for them to be realistic. The prices of houses in the UK is high in comparison to almost anywhere else in the world of similar structure, like Germany, the US, Canada etc and stupidly higher than in plenty of other countries like Spain, France and Italy.

Maybe we need a crash to get ourselves sorted out properly.

In any case, there is no real way to predict the prices of houses after Brexit, they may well rise double.

I'd love a reset but I doubt it'll happen, there's too much vested interest, developers build just enough to maximise profits, BTL landlords are making a killing off the skewed rental market.

Personally, I couldn’t give two hoots whether we have to have “a special licence “ or not. Either way it’s an excuse to put prices on any thing we ultimately do. It’s probably all scare mongering.
Do you all remember we were being panicked at the end of the last century(1999), “planes could fall out the sky, computers will all crash, people will hide in the hills with their essential basics” because nothing was programmed to receive the year 2000.☠️
REALLY!

I worked on equipment that relied on a clock,which would not go past the end of the 31st December 1999.Customers were not at all pleased that their machines would not work when they next went to work on the next working day.

But the world carried on and my customers had their equipment up and running as soon as the mother board clock was changed back ten years.No reason to panic.

As is so often the case, the "Millenium bug" was hyped up by the "news media" (they have an awful lot to answer for) and though real, was largely addressed through advanced recognition and remedial work. They're playing the same games with Brexit because they either want to stop it or because silly stories sell papers. TV news media is no better.

Many things wouldn't go past '99, straight locked up if the date ticked over. It was a multi-year long effort that made it such a non-event. I worked a metric fuckton of 90hr weeks in the months running up to it to get as many systems ready as possible.

If it had just been left, I can assure you, things would have gone tits up.

Shhhhhhh stop being reasonable. It reminds me of Carney forecasting a negative effect from the enactment of article 50. On its enactment, he initiated countermeasures which offset the worst of his own predictions at a net loss overall.

Because he offset the worst, his predictions were..... wrong..... apparently...... to many...... Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

You got no chance fella.
