Re: Getting a GA Drivers License - need ideas!
I live in Atlanta and so took the Georgia driving tests. They asked for my UK licence but didn't mention that they wanted to keep it, so when I had completed the written test and was handed a clipboard with the forms and my UK licence clipped together I simply put it back in my wallet and didn't think about it. I handed in the forms to the next attendant I was directed to and nothing more was said. My UK licence is still in my grubby little paws, for which I am thankful because if I ever make it back to the UK it would make more sense to be using a UK licence for car hire and the like.
Incidentally, I was a little amused when it came to taking my fingerprint. The bloke asked me for my index finger, which I proffered. He then got very annoyed at me, snapped and told me that my ring finger was the index finger?!! So, that's the one he took a print of. o.0

I think you can only be failed if you have either a head on collision of run someone over.

Re: Getting a GA Drivers License - need ideas!
why even tell them that you have a UK licence you are applying for a US one? I use my US one in the UK too now (saves getting any more points!!)

And if you get a picture, well the owner can keep clear because they give your US address.

I hadn't thought about the fact that they probably have no authority to take it. Either way I still need something to convince the person who issues the licenses, that they can't take it
thanks for your support...
