I have also known people who have come over here, got their L's gone back to the UK for a holiday claim they are living their indefinitely exchange their Aussie Learners for a full English license, come back here and gone to a different state and exchanged that new full license for a full Aussie license with no restrictions. I really don't know the legalities in that or even if it's still possible as I would have thought the Transport Department here would have pulled them. 'I know about 10 years ago, people use to come over to Victoria and tell Vic Roads they had a full motorbike license when they didn't and it was automatically added on to their new Oz license. Have a look through this document, I am wondering if you just opt to apply for a new license it would work To add or remove provisional motorcycle group D or add new groups to a full licence http://centraltransporttraining.co.uk/download.php?file=d100.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'll be wanting to swap my Aussie car/bike license for a pommy one asap when i get back, what's the best way of doing so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 i think to exchange your oz licence for a uk one you need to show residency of 6 months. then its a simple application costing around £43 and you get it back in 2-4 weeks.
