A friend of mine lives & works in the center of Glasgow, he passed his test at 18 and the last time he drove was 2 weeks later, before he moved away for Uni. He's now nearly 36...
...so I meant technically, he has a full and valid UK driving license but I would be utterly ****ing flabbergasted if he can
actually drive 
. It's different if you've been driving for a while, even 6 months or something, then don't drive for a long time ... I'm sure you'd still be competent then ... but he's basically only driven a car without an instructor 2 or 3 times, nearly 20 years ago! If he buys a car I'm calling the police.
