Cyprus Driving Permit from 1957
Contributed by Vic Freeman This permit was issued as the emergency progressed and had to be obtained in addition to a
Driving Licence. Time fogs memory, but my recollection is that British and certain foreign nationals were permitted to drive anywhere at any time providing a curfew was not in force. Turkish Cypriots were permitted the same. Greek Cypriots were then graded by age and occupation to a varying radius of their homes, the lowest grade being about five miles for under twenty fives (ish). Someone may have a more accurate recollection.
