Re: arr hubby having major driving issues
It's not really relevant what we think should be the case; it's only relevant what the prevailing law is.
As was discussed earlier in the thread the DVLA confiscates licenses from foreign license holders too.
I suppose that if you really want to avoid giving your license in then you can apply for a learners permit, but then surely you need to prove you've had a certain length of time behind the wheel before you are allowed to take the skills test.
Unless you are going to lie to the DMV about (not) having a UK license I don't see how you can get away with it in states where taking your foreign license off you is mandatory.
Saying a US state has no right to do something can't possibly be correct when it's the law that they MUST do that exact thing.
I know this is rich coming from me given comments I've made in other threads, but as I've come to a better understanding of how these things work in various states I've changed my tune somewhat.
