DVLA :(

[Big Tav]

I am dying to buy car but the DVLA have just put that plan on hold for a couple of weeks

Sent my Australian Licence to them with my passport to get exchanged over a week ago. Got a return letter yesterday in the mail and thought it was my new UK licence but NO. They sent it back asking me to fill in one more question about pre-existing medical conditions (even though the form said if I have an unrestricted licence with no conditions from Australia to skip that question).

Had to send it back yesterday so I am presuming there will be no test driving or being able to buy anything until I get it back right? I have my passport and a photocopy of my Australian licence but I don't think i can even get the road tax paid without a UK licence either can I?

Merry Xmas from your carless member

I dont think I'll get good insurance until I have the UK license though. I need to test drive a couple before I decide too. In Australia I could have just walked in to my local branch, paid the money and got the license. Looks like it will be on January now
