I would like to do some voluntary work in Indonesia, but a certain amount of driving is necessary. Is it possible to obtain some sort of licence to drive in Asia (Indonesia) despite my UK ban, short term will do. Thank you for any advice given. Neil.

Yes I did this, you can apply for your licience back to drive abroad, you haven't had your licience taken away, merely the permision to drive in UK. Mind you this was 25 years ago, rules may have changed now

All the countries that would need you to hold a full clean UK license then yes as you dont currently have a full license as yours is suspended. 'An International Driving Permit (IDP) is valid for 12 months form the date of issue (see also important note 1 below). Recognised internationally it normally allows the holder to drive a private motor vehicle when accompanied by a valid UK driving licence. (See also important note 2 below) Most countries require a 1949 Convention IDP but for certain countries, a 1926 Convention IDP is necessary. The AA is authorised to issue both the 1926 and 1949 Convention IDPs to applicants 18 years and over who hold a valid UK driving licence, or can obtain such a licence on the basis of a valid pass certificate. IDPs cannot be issued to a holder of a UK provisional driving licence without the test pass certificate and provisional driving licence. An IDP is a permit for use in conjunction with your driving licence, not in place of it. In some countries, you risk being fined or worse for relying solely on an IDP.' You need a '1949 Convention IDP' license in Indonesia.

Possibly, but you should not as you have proven that you are not a considerate or careful driver who abides by the law. What if you had killed someone whilst intoxicated. Stick to public transport.
