For me, the long er you can hold onto a UK licence the better as regardless of how you drive and your own intuition and capabilities, you will get nicked at some time... Try it on a PR visa, and you may find you have no Insurance if you have an accident. |

Even if you don't need to change it over, more often than not it makes life easier if you do as an Aussie Driving Licence is the best form of ID which is requested on masses of things including sending a package overseas. They don't seem to like the UK ones in some places.

But they'll throw them onto your Aussie licence once you apply for it so beware!
I was on a student visa. Got 2 speeding fines. Paid fines and no points. Applied for QLD licence months later, and it came with 7 points missing already ... :( I'm happy for the fines and points to be sent to the UK...coz I ain't there !! :o |

Can we hire a car no sweat with a UK driving licence ? Stu An Australian Licence is not hard to get if you have a full UK licence, so is worth getting, I think you may run into problems driving a privately registered car on a UK licence (not a rental car though) |
