Fake driver's license scheme: Another person arrested.
In an investigation into fake driving licenses in Girne, it was determined that forged documents were being circulated to obtain TRNC driving licenses for foreign nationals.

Maybe the authorities when implementing the new law about the licence, take a test and pay a large fee where I gather most just pay
Wouldn't it be better to be asked to produce a Driving status from their own country , admittedly it's easy being a UK licence holder but other things like singleton papers are more difficult.
Just because one has a UK licence doesn't mean you are a good driver but if you have 0 points when you arrive , apply for a local licence it should be just the cost of the licence.
