Depends on your country of residence, assuming your grandmother has held a valid UK liscense for more than a year then in the UK she would be able to take you out if you had a provisional liscence.

UK driving liscences are valid all over the world if you have one you can drive most places fomer colonial nations and the EU are the usual reason for this. There is a time limit in some places they are given full driving rights for usually a period of 3 months at least in the US in the EU a liscence is valid in all nations. You really would have to check the law of your home nation, it probably would be ok though.

In Australia you only need a note supplying your temporary address obtained from Police to be classified as an "International Driver" for three months. I'm from UK and this has worked for me.

ankush patel.... I'm travelling on business this week, don't have much time to research for you right now but would be glad to assist you in this matter if you live in and your permit was issued in the U.S.

Briefly, it is important to know what Country you are in and if in the U.S. which State. Driving laws vary considerably from state to state in the U.S. If your permit was issued in a U.S. state you can easily find on the internet the appropriate state website dealing w/ driver requirements. Simply do a Google or Yahoo search for your state's homepage (e.g., type California homepage or "www.ca.gov") and follow the links relating to "transportation" or similar terminology.

I will return home sometime this weekend, I hope, and will assist you then if you need additional help.

Happy trails
