So I guess I should steer clear of El Mirage for a few months.

He was not in a good mood.Then we drove around the block for about 5 minutes, you know, left here, left here, left again, can you guess where next? Yep left again!!! Then he said, okay go inside & wait for them to call your name, so I said, I passed then, he said oh yeah & then just got out & walked off! I was shouting after him, thanx, have a good day, bye!!!

Speeding being the common one. The test center is in a shopping center, and the reversing exercises are done in the parking lot, which has a 10mph limit. No problem for the exercises, but driving out onto the roads at 10mph! I got marked down for doing 25 in a 35, but it was not a failure.
The only bad (sad) part was handing over my UK licence for the GA one. Oh, and the funny looks when renting a car in the UK when I show my GA licence, but with a UK accent!
Congrats again. Cheaper insurance shall be yours!

Should've told them you never had a UK licence and taken the GA road test. get your brother/uncle/mother whoever in the UK to send off to the DVLA for a replacement stating you lost yours and a £10 fee later your back with a pinkie.
