本人是新手，拿中国牌一年多，但是没车，所以基本等于不会
来英国后，无奈车子太便宜，而且住的又远，打算买一辆500磅左右的车
1。新买的车在有MOT的情况下，需要去做一次full service吗？
2。请问我这样的情况，如果买了车，应该怎么上路练习？
3。自己感觉英国的交通状况好复杂。。为了自己和别人的安全，我应该怎样做比较好？
4。我是打算买保险才上路的，不知道保险的费用会是多少？那个公司会接受中国驾照的保险？
我超过25了，并且打算买1.4左右的小车。
请教练练车是打算申请了临时驾照后再说。。。不知道买车后如何上路。。。

1. 500磅的车可得好好选，不容易选到好的，建议把budget稍稍提高一点。到www.autotrader.co.uk瞧瞧
2. 除非很熟悉车况路况，否则建议不要轻易上路。
3. 英国交规并不负责，只是和国内很不一样，所以最好先请驾校老师带几个小时后上路。
4.一定要买了保险才能上路，不如你会被告上法庭的。买保险是保险公司并不问你的驾照是中国的还是英国的，只问你有驾照几年了...
5. 还是申请一个临时驾照好点。
多谢，老高的回复～～～
每天都上autotrader看的了。。。那里的车太便宜的又不知道是什么问题。。。
这两个星期看车看到头都大。。。
要求都很简单了，MOT TAX越长越好就行了，其它再说
想着能熬一年也不错了 :)

算是一个变相广告吧，但是我觉得这种信息对大家还是有帮助的！关于车子的一切问题都欢迎到www.52caruk.com看看。
我个人的意见：
1、£500的车有质量好的，但是不要奢求外观或品牌。老点的标志106，尼桑Micra等都可以看看。
2、严格按照法律规定，中国驾照是不能在英国使用的，一天也不行！（详情参考DVLA网站，我们也专门有文章是在这个方面的）。
3、因为上面这个条件限制，最好建议先申请一个Provisional Licence。然后按照法律规定，只要有一个持有3年或以上英国驾照的人做副司机就可以合法上路（当然要有MOT，路税和保险）。副司机的经验应该能够给你足够的建议，再不然，我们网上还有相关文章。
4、保险的价钱大致由3方面决定：
一、车子的保险组别。（大引擎的，少见的车，进口车会贵点）
二、你的背景。（年纪，职业，驾龄，驾照类型，有没有事故记录等）
三、你的住址。（在高危地区当然要贵，还有停车在路边于停在车房里的价钱可以差出不少）
* to gaog：英国上网买保险虽然不问你的驾照是不是英国的，但是当出事的时候，他们心血来潮要看你驾照的时候发现你不是英国驾照就不赔（在保险公司的T&C里面写了说他们提供保险的前提是你要有英国的Full Licence）。买了保险还是当没有买一样，只能过警察检查保险这一关。
其实用Provisional Licence买保险跟新牌的价格是基本一致的（我们测试过，详情还是在我们自己的文章里）。
总体来说，第一件事就是办一张临时驾照。再考虑买车上路。

因为以前去过DVLA查找相关资料，这回又看了一遍。发现除了以前归属于DVLA.gov.uk的文章转移到了direct.gov.uk 其原文内容并没有变化，并且DVLA直接提供指向该网站的内容链接。
关于非英国驾照的使用法规内容全文如下：
Driving on licences from all other countries, and students on a foreign licenceIf you are a visitor, resident or student in Great Britain (GB) and still have a driving licence issued in the country you have come from, there are certain conditions that affect how long you can drive, and what you can drive in Great Britain.
Interactive tool
We are always trying to improve our service, and have created a way for you to get the most accurate information based on your individual need as an alternative to the content below. If possible, please use our interactive tool and give us your comments when you have completed it.
Visitors
You may drive vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and with up to eight passenger seats, provided your full licence or driving permit remains valid for up to 12 months from the date of coming to GB. However, you may only drive large vehicles which have been registered outside GB and which you have driven into the country.
Residents
If you are the holder of an ordinary driving licence (car, moped, motorcycle entitlement) and provided your licence remains valid, you can drive any category of small vehicle shown on your licence for up to 12 months from the time you became resident. To ensure continuous driving entitlement a provisional GB licence must have been obtained and a driving test(s) passed before the 12-month period elapses. If you obtain a provisional licence during this period, you are not subject to provisional licence conditions eg displaying 'L' plates or being supervised by a qualified driver or being precluded from motorways.
However, if you do not pass a test within the 12-month concessionary period you will not be allowed to drive as a full licence holder and provisional licence conditions will apply. If you do not apply for a provisional licence within the first 12 months you must stop driving and obtain a British provisional licence with a view to passing a driving test. Provisional licence conditions will then apply.
If you are the holder of a vocational licence (minibus, bus, lorry entitlement) and a new resident, you must not drive large vehicles until you have passed the relevant GB driving test. Driving test candidates are required to pass a motor car (category B) test first before applying for provisional entitlement for larger vehicles.
Driving in GB as a student
If you are a student holding a community licence you may drive cars and motorcycles in GB for as long as your licence remains valid, or until age 70. If you do not hold a licence you must have been studying here for at least six months prior to taking a driving test or applying for a full licence.
If you are a student holding a non-community licence or an international driving permit you may drive here for up to 12 months. If you hold a driving licence from a designated country you may apply to exchange this for a British one up to five years after becoming a resident here. If you do not hold a licence, or your licence was not issued in a designated country, you will need to apply for a provisional licence and then pass a driving test. You will be able to take a test and obtain a full licence once you have been in GB for six months.

Rules for learner drivers
Before you start to drive, you must:
hold a valid, provisional driving licence for Great Britain or Northern Ireland
make sure that any vehicle you drive is roadworthy and properly taxed and insured
It is important to learn safe driving practice from the beginning of your driving career because bad habits are hard to break.
It is unlikely that anyone except an approved driving instructor (ADI) would have the experience, knowledge and training to teach you properly. Learning safe driving habits from the start will improve the safety of yourself and other road users.
If you want to practise your driving with an accompanying driver, the accompanying driver must be over the age of 21 and must have held (and still hold) a full licence for three years.
As a learner driver you must display 'L' plates ('L' or 'D' plates in Wales) in a conspicuous position on the front and rear of the vehicle you are driving.
