Heya, wondering if anyone had this situation before: I am currently doing class 2 training, I have to change my driving licence for a provisional. Before this I booked my holiday and I will need my driving licence to drive my car through Europe. Anyone knows if that is still possible with the provisional licence?

It's not a provisional licence as such, like the green one you get for provisional car, it's still a normal pink card, with the provisional lorry entitlements..
Mine didn't even show the provisional entitlements on the pink card, it only showed online.
Just have to make sure it's back in time for you travelling as the DVLA can be deathly slow 🙈

no problems! It can take DVLA a long time to process the application sometimes 🙈 see when you get a new photo card licence, I always hold onto the last one too.
I know it says u must sent old one back, but I've never ever been fined yet, & have never went it back. That way, when you send card away for whatever reason, you still have one to produce if required.

thanks for the advice, I will keep that in mind, but I think I need to send it now. Might keep it after, when I get the final licence.

Ask the DVLA for a ‘certificate of entitlement’ if your licence isnt back before you need to travel to Europe.
They’re a pain in the arse though.

They just send you your licence back. You only get a new one when you pass, you need to check the provisional status online.

Can we apply or should we apply for an international licence? No idea if that's still a thing but I thought with brexit and all the changes????????
