Hi people.

I have a few questions regarding getting a driving license in Cyprus.

I'm a resident of the UK and am to moving to Cyprus very soon but I havn't got a driving license yet, I only have a UK provisional licence and a theory test certificate.

So will I be able to take my driving practical test in Cyprus with a UK theory test and UK provisional license?

Any help would be much appreciated.

in cyprus you can take a driving test with no eyes, ears, legs , or arms, and you could be deaf with no paperwork at all and without being able to read or write, you could be drunk, on acid, and only have the mental capacity of an ameoba and you would still be overqualified and make a better driver than most cypriots! i hope this answers your questions and if you have any more feel free to ask, dont be scared

You will need to check on the legality of the matter. I suggest you come here and ask a driving school. I do believe however that your UK provision licence will be enough to sit a Cypriot driving test. If you do happen to be under the age of 18 you cannot obtain a full driving license or infact use your full driving license if you happen to pass in the UK at the age of 17. Bring the provisional license with you just in-case.

I must gisagree with Dinos. Cyprus is the 3rd country in the EU after Greece and Portugal in fatal accidents judged on their populataion.

The goverment and all authorities are doing their best to reduce these numbers (thanks to no help from the public)

The driving test is more difficult to pass with an average of a 30% pass.

I have lost a beloved one in an accident, therefore I always take the opportunity and explain to young people the dangers they are facing and what they have to loose by driving illegally. (remember we were once their age)

Approximately 110 people loose their life on roads, every year in Cyprus. 1000's are disabled for life and 10's of thousands hospitalised every year. due to road traffic collisions

What are we going to help reduce these numbers? Apart from promoting that we live in a country that resembles a jungle.

Cyprus123, Good luck on your driving exam and drive safe

i dont really see how thats disagreeing with me! i have basically said that cyps cant drive to save their lives(and quite often that is actually the case), maybe my succint way of expressing myself threw you! and perhaps my SUBTLE sense of humour went un-detected by you dangaman? in england we call it sarcasm, i dont think it has been exported to cy yet, so i wont hold it against you as for the statistics you quote i am surprised that only the amounts you indicate are killed and injured on cyprus roads as the standard of cypriot driving is as bad as i have seen anywhere around the world, excluding maybe india!!!!!!!! they do take the biscuit! as for the fact you say that only 30% of cyp`s now pass the driving test then obviously that maybe a step in the right direction, but i would say the problem is that the teachers in cyprus dont even know how to drive properly! its the blind leading the blind out there-fact. cypriots dont even understand the first thing about who gives way to who and priorities, and they certainly dont understand reverse or parallel parking!
