WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 19th FEBRUARY 2013

Question

Will the Minister state if there are any countries' driving licences which are accepted by Jersey, but where Jersey driving licences are not recognised?

Answer

The jurisdictions that have a mutual exchange arrangement with Jersey are set out in Schedule 5 of the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Jersey) Order 2003 as amended.

While there have been occasional difficulties reported in the past by former Jersey residents who have moved to parts of France and Poland, they were resolved relatively quickly, there have been no jurisdictions brought to my or the Department's attention, recently, where that jurisdiction's licences are accepted by Jersey but where Jersey licences are not accepted in the jurisdiction for mutual exchange.
