Case 1:
A resident of Great Britain (GB),
[ driving licence for a Car and or motorcycle, current driving licence issued Any other country (including China) ]
Can you drive in Great Britain (GB) if your driving licence was issued in another country?
Conclusion
you can drive in Great Britain (GB) on your full, valid driving licence for up to 12 months from the time you first became resident
you will need to stop driving once the 12 months are over
you will not be able to exchange your licence for a GB licence
if you wish to continue driving in GB you will need to get a GB provisional driving licence and sit a theory and practical driving test
Case 2:
A student in Great Britain (GB)
Can you drive in Great Britain (GB) if your driving licence was issued in another country?
Conclusion
Students from a community country
List of EC/EEA Countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Republic of Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.
if you are a student holding a community licence you may drive cars and motorcycles in Great Britain (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
Students from a non-community country (学生来自非欧共体国家或地区)
List of designated countries(指定的国家或地区名单): Australia, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Falkland Islands, Faroe Islands, Hong Kong, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland and Zimbabwe.
1. if you are a student holding a non-community licence or an international driving permit you may drive here for up to 12 months
(如果你是一名持有非欧共体国家驾照或国际驾驶许可的学生，你可以在这里驾驶不超过12个月)
2. 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
(如果你持有上述名单中指定的国家或地区的驾照，你可以申请用已持有的驾照在成为英国合法居民后的5年以内换取英国驾照)
3. 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
(如果你尚未持有驾照，或者你持有的驾照不在上述指定国家或地区的名单内，你需要先申请一个临时驾照，然后通过驾驶考试)
(个人认为：只持有中国驾照的学生隶属于这个范畴之内)
4. you will be able to take a test and obtain a full licence once you have been in GB for six months
(当你来英满6个月后，可以参加考试并获取正式驾照)

根据以上三种情况，个人认为可以简单地归纳为以下三点：
1. 如果你是一名持有中国驾照的英国合法居民（学生、游客除外），你可以使用你的正式且在有效期内的驾照，从首次入境起的12个月内在英驾驶小型汽车；
2. 如果你是一名持有中国驾照（香港驾照除外）的留英学生，你需要先申请一个临时驾照，然后通过驾驶考试，才可以在英驾车；
3. 如果你是一名持有中国驾照的游客，你可以使用你的正式且在有效期内的中国驾照，从你最近一次入境起的12个月内，在英驾驶属于你驾照上标明的准驾车型的小型车(例如轿车、摩托车)；你只有在入境前注册且必须驾驶入境，才可以驾驶在你驾照上标明的属于准驾车型的大型车。
