wow! that is useful info..not for me..perse..
..but i wonder if there is something like that in Australia aswell. i didn't think about that. When i went to do my licence thing here..i had no way to show i had been driving for more than 5 years..other then the fact that i have my current licence from australia ~renewed 3 years ago..which is renewed every 5 years..and my age:p heheee thanks..i will explore aussie sites and see what i can find! cheers!

Thanks for the info. The 9am to 12 pm is obviously UK time?

I live in Calgary now with a 7 hour time difference so I have to be up between 2am and 5am to phone. Is there another way for example by email? Would they post the driver licence history to a Calgary address?

Any information is much appreciated, as I need to get car insurance and showing my driving experience in UK makes a huge difference to the quote.

Many thanks

as per the other posters link i think you can write in. to be honest i think that 9 to 12 is a guide, i did have to phone back later for my wife and they were there till 1600hrs that day.
