    Ahhhh crap :argh: !!! I'm Indian ..... I dont think too many ppl out there at Bath will look like me!!!:dong:

    Also since I'm an international student :headbang: I'm not allowed an provisional!!!! :bawling:
    I've never been to Bath so I wouldn't know about that. Surely there'll be an Indian society or something at Bath uni though? We have a society for every single ethnicity at KCL :lol: Just make friends with an older Asian guy and ask to borrow his ID sometimes. Simples.

    The bouncer isn't going to know that you're not allowed a provisional license :lol:

    Ohhh!!!:cry: Thankz anyways!!!

    BTW do u have any idea if I(international student) can apply for a provisional license??

    And is it really possible to use somebody else's ID???? I mean they can easily spot its not your passport!!!
    Not sure if international students can apply for a provisional, don't see why not, but you'd have to ask the DVLA on that.

    Yes it is possible to use someone else's ID if they look like you. Usually when it's busy a doorman or barman will just have a quick glance at the date on the id. Just depend on your luck on the night really.

    I'm nearly 21 and I've never been on a night out in the town etc, either. I don't want to pay shedloads for drinks every week, especially since I don't drink at all. However, going out to these sorts of places seems to be the only/main way of meeting people, girls etc, so in some ways I feel I have no choice.

    Is it impossible not to spend the suggesed amounts, or can you do the socialising part without all the pricey drinking?

    Any official Indian ID (drivers liscence/permit, passport) will do.

    From my limited experience, I DO know several international students who were let in at 17

    most definitely, not including predrinks i usually just spend a tenner. even less if you bring a hip flask and just take shots from it instead of buying drinks!
