Theory!

When I moved to the US, I was allowed to drive on my British license for 1 year (I think it was 1 year anyway, maybe less actually), then I had to hand in my British license and take the US test. When I moved back to England 4 years later, luckily I was able to just reapply for my British license without having to take another test. I think it's pretty much the same in most countries, so I'm guessing you will have to take the test in Canada at some point. Although I know of people in England who have been driving on a foreign license for several years even though they shouldn't do it for more than one year - they are still able to get insurance for some reason, but I'm sure if they actually tried to make a claim they would come unstuck!

Oh and well done Craca for a good pass!

Well done cracka!

I checked (well... a cousin did actually) with SGI, and if I send in a report stating that I was a good boy in traffic here, my licence could be transferred.. But I'll have to check all that myself to make sure..

You might be lucky then cause it sucks having to take another test when you've already passed one!

Well done!!

Thanks alot everyone

Well done mate. Now for the real driving test!!!

I'd hate having to retake my tests again - I failed twice anyway first time round for STUPID things...I overtook a row of what I thought were parked cars...actually waiting at a red light...and second time...I was day dreaming at a traffic light thinking go green, go green...and it was green lol.

I think now I've picked up driving habits I'd struggle to pass again!

Ha, I lol'd

Knew you could do it, Crackafaza! Of course, that means, if I ever make it to the UK, I will have someone to drive me around. lol

I'm so glad I passed my test before they brought all this in

Brought all what in?

The theory test.. When I did my test it was just the driving test and you had to answer a few questions on the Highway Code at the end

Oh right!
When was the main theory actually brought in then? :S
anyone know?

Actually back when I took my UK test I also just had a few questions at the end rather than the separate theory test. The theory test as it is now came in in 1996.

about '95 I think.
I also passed before they bought it in, which makes me feel old, but happy as all I had to do was read a number plate and answer three questions about road signs !
