Default drivers license in Maryland

Hi everyone!

I haven't written for a while since Dave (daveyboy) has been here and
we've gotten married. : ) I have a question for anyone who has gotten
their drivers license in Maryland, we were wondering if anyone was able
to keep their U.K. license also. Thanks for any replies.

Linda

They didn't ask for my Australian drivers licence. I think I still
have it somewhere. It's only the out of state ones that they take, at
least that's been my experience in New York with an MD licence.

I'm planning to take one too, may be you can check under Maryland
official website about their rules of driving license. I don't know
whether they accept other countries driving license, but definitely
in my country I drive on the other side of the road! I bet the same
in UK too.

I got my drivers licence in DC before I moved to DC (I lived temporarily
in DC) where you dont have to take a 3 hr drug and alcohol awareness
class like you do in MD (and they charge you about $50 for the
privilage!) In DC when I got my licence they asked me where I had my
International licence from - when I said the UK they didn't make me do
the written test. They looked at my licence (and maybe made a copy) -
this was the old paper-type licences) and gave it me back. Took a computer-
written test (VERY EASY) and voila. Easy Peasy. When I moved to MD I
just forfitted my DC licence for a MD one - I think you only have to
give up your licences from another State. It would make no sense to have
to give up your International licence - how would you be expected to
drive back home?!!!



Good luck....
