Apparently a US trade deal with the UK will entail the pound shadowing the US dollar. This is something the Chinese have already been forced to swallow.

Aw. A true bromance.

Now now. He's taken his lumps - don't provoke him further.

I thought it was about the Italian insurance company refusing the claim.

Why shouldn't he call you a liar? Freedom of speech.

Secondly, his rant is (for once) not about the EU, or EU drivers, but about the UK insurance company that he was using.

yes and No. My insurance company didn't want to deal with an Italian insurance company to resolve the claim correctly (until I suggested we ( my insurance company and I) resolve the matter through the relevant ombudsman. But the Italian insurance company became very obstructive in resolving the claim, and I really have no idea if the legal team employed by my insurance company ever got a resolution.

So, the Italian driver did not require an IDP to drive in the UK, that is a clear fact, and is contrary to what 69 said earlier.

But that was the fault of the EU anyway.

In the context in which you used "your qualifier" you questioned whether my story was true and therefore as I was recounting something that happened to me personally you were indeed calling me a liar.

please don't make me angry. I have already vented my spleen on a mod this morning via a PM over something that was posted yesterday whilst I was denied any right of reply.

It’s quite possible to be wrong / incorrect without being a liar. You might genuinely believe your position but still have some details wrong.

Genuinely, if this forum is making you angry then perhaps just step back for a few days. I’ve had to do that myself a few times. Look after your mental health.

I didn’t. It was a qualifier.

But as you’ve raised the topic, are you saying that anyone questioning whether something you’ve said is true or not is calling you a liar?

Do people holding foreign driving licences require and IDP to drive in the UK? If so, which one?

They already do. I

Driving in Great Britain on a non-GB licence - GOV.UK

Remember the driver was Italian, so...
