Yes, you can legally drive in the United Kingdom as a visitor for up to 12 months using a valid, full, and unexpired driver's license issued by any US state. You are not required to hold an International Driving Permit as long as your US license is written in English and remains current. However, once you surpass 12 months of residency or if you become a permanent resident, you must exchange your US license for a British driving license or pass the UK driving test. Additionally, driving in the UK requires adjusting to driving on the left side of the road and mastering manual gear shifts if driving a standard transmission car.
