[QUOTE="RobbieM, post: 1978088, member: 321920"] I am an Australian with a British passport, and first came to the UK in 2003. I have just applied for my British driver's licence and have been rejected because I have been a resident for more than 5 years and, according to DVLA rules, I now need to apply for a provisional licence. Since first moving over here in 2003 I have been back and forth living between the UK and Australia, and have not been a sole resident of the UK since 2003, I really only permanently came to live here at the beginning of 2008 and I have only been driving in the UK for a year (although I don't think this is relevant to the DVLA). I am writing to the DVLA today to that effect, and hope that they grant me a full British licence, but if anyone has more info or could help me out I'd be very grateful! I realise now that I shouldn't have put the 2003 date on my application form..... Cheers. [/QUOTE]
