Any Brits or EU people living/working in Switzerland? |
I am working in Switzerland and own a car here. After 1 year (which is now up) I have to get a Swiss driving license. However I have run into problems because the law in my canton (Vaud) says that because I got my English driving license after Dec. 2005 I have to get a 'Permit de counduire a l'essai".
I am quite confused, does this mean that I have to take a driving test again here?? Any one who experienced similar problems, feedback/help would be greatly appreciated. |

Hello
Your problem has nothing to do with the cantonal legislation of Canton de Vaud. The problem is in the federal law.
The Road Traffic Act of Switzerland (RTA) has been modified a short while ago.
Here you have the new art. 15a of the RTA in French:
http://www.admin.ch/ch/f/rs/741_01/a15a.html
A cut-off date has been defined by the legislator in order to fix for which driving licenses the new law should be applicable. In other words: What's the starting point for the new licenses given to the applicants, because from that moment on, the licenses shall only be given 'on probation'.
The cut-off date is December 1, 2005. If your driving license was given to you after that date, your license must be considered as given 'on probation'.
The duration of this probation period is three years according to the law. The driving license becomes definite, when the probation period is over. During this period, there shouldn't be serious violations of the law (I'm not talking about parking tickets). Besides that, you have to go to a special course about 'avoiding dangers of the circulation better' and 'managing the environment'.
The big question is, when these 3 years do start.
After the issue of your British license or after the issue of your new Swiss license?
In my opinion, it would be discriminatory if your probation period would start after the issue of the Swiss license because, if your British license was issued in January 2006 and you'd get the three years from now on, you'd be a driver with 6 years of experience and still with a license on probation. This can't possibly be what the legislation is intending to do.
If this is what the police wants from you, you should see a lawyer and ask him about it.
Please let me know about this detail. I'm curious! |
