    I may have asked this before, but either I forgot or can't find the post
    anymore.

    A 'friend' of mine has got an Irish bike license. He's doing some driving
    lessons at the moment to get an English license for the c*ge. Now, he knows
    it's better to have an Irish license as they don't have a point system
    (yet). He also knows, he probably needs to declare the existence of a bike
    license when he will get a car license. Despite what the (blond) bint at the
    DSA tried to tell him, he can use his foreign license on it's own untill
    he's 70. The bint at the DSA also tried to tell him, he couldn't ride a bike
    at all in the UK on a foreign license...

    He was told by his driving instructor that when he applies for a UK bike
    license he probably doesn't need to do his theory exam, but after a bit of
    investigation he probaly does need to do this, so there is no use to apply
    for a UK bike license. How does de DSA/DVLA check for foreign licenses? In
    other words: is there a way around it.

    Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark
    side, and it holds the universe together.

    Why is he taking lessons? He should just be able to exchange it for a uk
    license...

    points in the UK?

    Not yet but they will be soon unless we Nuke the fuckers soon. I think Ace
    should start arranging Swiss licences.
