Talking I got my license

Just to say i passed my Aussie driving test (theory to convert UK licence) with 91%, not that i am boasting, but it was fairly easy
Very simple proceedure, you take the test, come out, get told your result, got to front counter, pay, have photo taken, get given licence!!!
The best thing about this is having Aussie ID. Normally when they ask you for you licence and you give them your pommy one, they look at you like you have just got off your space ship from the planet crap ID!!!

You can only drive using your UK licence for 3 months in Melbourne ... & then you gotta get a Victorian one.

There is no time limit as to you getting the Vic licence.
