Re: Driving License
Is it a recent one?
I've just mocked up this page on Wikipedia as a facsimile of proof http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_spelling but it says the same at the beginning of my old OED

It seems to come down to personal choice and 'ise' seems easier as not all words can use 'ize' e.g. incise, comprise etc.
I will still use motorised.
It's definitely licence though.

c for certificate.

it's the same as advise and advice (which have a helpful sound difference).

Re: Driving License
I am shocked at how many times I see advise and advice used in the wrong manner! And sometimes in professional publications!

Re: Driving License
mm... very informative guys, thanks....
Ok, I checked and my licence is not on the exception list, so I would have to go for a test.
I will be moving on partners visa and planning to apply for courier/ driver jobs when in Melbourne.
Partner's visa are temporary for 2 years.
The rules in VIC state that while on temporary visa I can use my country's licence, however I take it would be for my private car only.
My question is will I be able to apply for permanent VIC licence if I am on partner visa as I believe I would not be able to work as a driver not having licence from VIC!
Hope I make sense.

- a moped
- a motor vehicle weighing 4.5 tonnes (t) GVM or less, built or fitted to carry a maximum of 12 passengers including the driver, with or without a trailer weighing 9 t GVM or less
- a specially constructed vehicle weighing 4.5 t GVM or less, with or without a trailer
I suggest you check with Victoria for their rules...
