Uk driving licence

Hi again guys, another question lol.

My wife failed here driving test in the UK 3 times before we moved to Australia and since being here passed on the first time of asking lol (Does this say something about standards here :blink: )

Anyway...Will she be able to swap her full open Australian licence for a pommy one without sitting the test or is she in for a shock?

Yes,I have to re-take so does DH who has ben driving since '77 lol!

Wonder who will pass first ?

I think the UK driving test is beyond crazy ...real driving happens on your own over time :)

That is one thing I really like about America -straight forward driving tests -and *if * you fail the chance to take it almost straight away !
