Convert your driving license?
The first thing you need to be aware of is if you move abroad, you cannot have your new international address added to your British driving licence.

You can apply for an International Driving Permit as a temporary solution although the Belgian authorities will accept your UK licence so this is not necessary. Information about this can be found here:
The AA - International Driving Permit
Alternatively, you have two other choices. Either leave it with your last address in the UK, or submit it to the Belgian authorities and have it replaced with a Belgian Licence.
People with a British Licence can only be fined (no points awarded) but there are huge on-the-spot-fines for breaking the law.
Regardless of your decision regarding your licence, you should familiarise yourself with the rules of the Belgian roads!

And finally, please remember that although in the UK you can take and pass your driving test at the age of 17, in Belgium, your licence is not valid until your 18th birthday! Other general differences can be found here:
