I have received my British drivers licence! Yes, somehow I managed to
do this without directly lying about anything on the form.

Oh happy day!

Congratulations!!

He got three fines

Giving a false name
Not producing I/D when requested.

Moral: Exercise control of bodily functions.

Try asking for a UK pension, there are some serious errors in the

I thought you might say that. Your EU country of residence has to let
you keep all your existing licences. The EU has ruled in a Dutch case
that they have no right to keep your existing licence. You can also
drive on your shiny new UK licence for 10 years without needing to get
an Italian license. Tim Challenger posted on this subject last year.
As a result my daughter was saved the expense of getting a UK licence
in addition to her Dutch driving license.

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

See
http://europa.eu.int/youreurope/nav/...nition/en.html
for the good news and the bad news.

Hmmm... not so bad...

and the good news
They have no way of knowing that you started with an Oz licence and
got a UK licence on the basis of having an Oz licence. I got a Dutch
licence by showing an Oz licence before half of Holland started having
cheap driving test holidays in the USA and places like Egypt.
Eventually the Dutch closed the loop hole.

Ah, no real problem then. I have at least ten years up my sleeve.
