More driving questions
Ok, this even sounds dumb even before I asked, but I will take my chances anyways and just ask at the risk of ridicule.
Is there any state whereby you do not have a driving test and could simply exchange a UK licence? |

There is the odd exception where some DMV dimvit thinks that UK stands for Uklahoma... :lol:

Re: More driving questions
This is actualy a really interesting question. Another thread got me wondering about this - it seems that some states have reciprocity with certain countries (Germany pops up quite often, for some reason).
I haven't been able to find a comprehensive list of such agreements though. |

Don't worry about the road-test. A recently dead corpse could easilly pass the New York test, probably the same in most states.

Re: More driving questions
Once a person converts from temporary residency to permanent, the state usually requires it's new resident to obtain that state's driver's licence within a prescribed grace period.

Well, reciprocity don't mean jack. You can drive up to one year with a German license, as long as you're a tourist; in most (I wanna say all but don't know that) state. But as soon as you take up residence in a state (take a job or rent an apartment), it's only a few weeks that you're allowed to use a foreign or out-of-state license (Texas just changed that period from 30 to 90 days).

Err... yeah, we all know that. Reciprocity means that they'll trade your foreign license for a state one, like they do with out of state licences.

Well, I had to take the test from scratch. And I still have my German one.
The OP was asking which states have reciprocity with the UK, however. |

Thereby demonstrating that you were unable to take advantage of a reciprocal agreement in TX. So we now know that (at least when you got your license) TX had no reciprocal agreement with Germany (or, if it did, the DPS clerk was unaware of it).
