A start methinks… Though doesn’t go far enough? Example: doesn’t include heavy vehicles and also the list of exempt countries..

Never knew that we allowed people to hold overseas licenses perpetually from ANY country.....well that explains a lot!

Well, fun story, an irish guy i worked with flaunted his international licence for a while. So you'd lose it for serious stuff like drink driving but stuff like low range speeding it was only the fine for him not a points system, just the fine. When he got perminant residancy he had to convert to an australian licence. So just the knowledge test and the drivers test which he passed but.....
Well his prior infractions were now carried over to points. So australian drivers licence yes, an instant 6 months off driving for points loss, also yes. |

I Lived in Costa Rica for 5 odd years…
My aussie drivers license was only valid for my length of visa. And maximum allowed visa length is 90 days.. My get around was to leave the country and re-enter the same day: ie stamped passport and another 90 days (we were lucky we were only 120ks from Panama border. Once permanent residency is attained.. Which usually takes 3+ years, you have to apply for a Costa Rican drivers license… Your overseas one is invalid. You’d think most countries are similar?
