Re: NJ DMV FAIL!!!
Interesting I got my first DL in NJ 56 years ago and I was thrilled to death at passing. I had only been in NJ for a few weeks from Liverpool. I also nearly jumped the curb because I was not use to the power steering in my friends new car.
It is very important to some people to get a license in the US so as to get a job. I have driven many millions of miles while working and driving for Greyhound Bus Lines but I think I wouldn't pass the test in England when I return. There is driving for the test and then there is driving in the real world. I see people in England being imprisoned for careless driving and other driving offences so no wonder the UK prisons are full. Be very careful if you drive in the UK. |

I don't think what you wrote is correct because a UK DL can expire. This is what I have read on this forum. |

The only circumstances I know where you have to retake your test is if you get convicted of certain offenses You could not drive for thirty years and still be ok to drive as long as you kept up your photo card |

Re: NJ DMV FAIL!!!
What about provisional licenses? I got an old paper provisional one but never took the actual test, do I have to get a fancy new credit-card-style provisional license if I ever move back to the UK?

If you're talking of a old style paper license that is a full license, then that is good till you're 70, but if you move, you have to get a new license. |
Re: NJ DMV FAIL!!!
Passed my written test and showed them my British license and never said anything about having an nj license previously. Got an NJ license right away, no road test! Woohoo!
I must admit it did worry me that you can take the written test orally if you can't read... |
