Britons in France could lose driving licences due to post-Brexit impasse

Thousands face not having a valid permit after lack of deal between UK and France and flood of applications

Thousands of British citizens in France have been left without a valid driving licence, or face losing theirs within months, because of bureaucratic overload and the failure of the two countries' governments to sign a post-Brexit reciprocal agreement.

I'd say there are 3,000 who are seriously worried - for whom this has really become nightmarish," said Kim Cranstoun, who moved permanently to France three years ago and whose Facebook group for Britons affected has more than 6,000 members.
