I don't know but Irish driving Licences are pink too. They look a bit different you kind of have a card that folds up in three with ur photo on. The provisional ones are green but the proper ones are pink.

Answer 2

Not just the UK. Every EU country now has (or is moving over to) the same green provisional / pink full driving licences.

All European Union driving licence counterparts are pink.

There is no legal requirement in Great Britain to carry your driving licence with you at all.
