I handed it to a trooper and we walked to the parking lot. He looked at me then looked at my 914 with the roof off looked back at me and asked how long I had been driving. I told him 9 years, and 5 years in the 914. He mumbled this is stupid to himself and signed off on my driving test.

Nice, maybe I will get that lucky.

In MD if I had another license from another State in the States, I could swap it, but as it is from OZ I can't I have to start again. You would think that 4 years driving in Europe would prepare me for everything!! Luckily in France they let people from the Australian Capital Territory swap their ACT license for a French one, but people from OZ other states had to do the written drivers test and the driving practical test, in French, 100 questions, not a.b.c.d. ones either, and if you didn't read and speak french fluently you were stuffed. Some people never got fluent enough to pass the test, and couldn't drive, well legally anyway, as they had failed the french test. Some even went to the UK, got a UK drivers license then came back and swapped it for a French one, that was okay apparently, strange what political arrangement/agreements have been made.

Like AI said I may be able to swap my French license for a MD License that's what it says on the DMV website, bit strange, but I am going to try it and see how I go, the thing is if you fail the test you can't continue to drive, and that's the scary bit, what if I get a fail!!!!!!! It might happen, I could choke!!!!! Even fail the practical, might tell the guy to get stuffed (its been known to happen).

It has taken me about 20 minutes to write this bleet as I keep getting interrupted by trick or treaters, lovely little midgets, some being carried by their parents, a cute pair of tiny weeny little twins, so cute.
