Driving Licences
It took less than 5 mins start to finish. She had to drive for about 100 yds then reverse between cones about 50ft apart.

I've always driven Japanese cars, but would have assumed American cars to have the same set-up (perhaps they don't).

Re: Driving Licences
Really? Every car I've ever driven has a hand brake between driver and passenger, even our CR-V's (suv) hand brake was in the middle. I'm pretty sure most trucks do have a foot brake.

Re: Driving Licences
If I remember correctly all the mercs we've had had foot brakes. Although many luxury cars now have auto hand brakes...or a electronic button to press to engage the handbrake.

Re: Driving Licences
I've done the "search" thing and not seen a similar situation, so I'm going to ask.......
We're on our way to being LPRs this year, and have a home in NH.
I understand that we will need to get a NH driving licence. However as we are retaining our home here in the UK (and leaving a car which we'll need to insure etc), we don't want to give up our UK licences. Most of the DMVs seem to insist you surrender an out of country licence.
How many of you have both a UK and US licence?

I've still got my UK licence and I have the US one too. It works for me.

Re: Driving Licences
Not so much of a test, as a mere formality, after you've taken the multi-choice "written" exam.
