mandymcqueen Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi Can you drive in Australia on a UK driving license, I know that Australian's driving in uk need to re-sit their test to get a UK License. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest minnie Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 hello!, I hired a car using my uk license, and friends who have backed packed have bought and driven cars on uk licenses. I'm not so sure about getting an oz license though! minnie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calNgary Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 You can use your uk licence for a few month then you can get a straight swap for an aussie one ,,no test to sit anymore. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tinbasher Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Yep, no tests anymore. We thankfully missed it by a couple of months :jiggy: Mrs TinB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Spoonies Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Thank God for that, don't think I'd pass another driving test and would probably lose my "one up" on my OH who didn't pass his UK test first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, now you are just being silly Mrs Spoon, we are talking about male drives after all. You are giving them far too much credit (have I just opened a very large can of worms, Oh dear what a shame, am I boverd). Mrs TinB PS have no idea about the HGV, I am sure someone will be able to help you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
