we should get to know each other !!!

I'm in PA, Montgomery Co. to be more precise. Where are you?

We looked into getting Richard an international international driving permit since (if I recall) that's only a matter of paying some money, but we never did. He drove longer than he should have on his foreign driving license mostly becaue of the catch 22 of of taking so long to get a social security number, we live in an area with NO public tranportation.

He never got stopped so it was never an issue.

He was lucky, I've been stopped when I was just trying to get in the car. I still have trouble remembering what side the sterring wheel is on and constantly get in the passenger side by mistake. The local cops watched me doing this one day and pulled me over once I figured out what side of the car I was supposed to be in. They followed me home afterwards too, probably thought if I didn't know what side of the road the steering wheel was on I wouldn't know what side of the road to drive on either.

I would like to say I have never mistakenly driven on the left here, I just wish I could say I have always remembered to switch back when I visit the UK.

Too funny...but Richard lived in the Caribbean (non British Island) for five years before coming to the US so he had plenty of practice with which side of car to enter. But he said it was an issue for quite some time. Also...not the driving but the entering the car issue..

My biggest issue was him not driving after having more than one drink....we still take no chances...he drinks (anything) I (abstain) and I drive.

Thank you for that, I feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one with the door problem. My darling husband just loves watching me walk up to the car and get in the wrong side. I was driving him yesterday and stopped to run into a 7-11 in Doylestown, he just sat there laughing when I came out, walked over to the car, and tried to get into the seat he was sitting in.

Just found this link to the doccuments you need if you are not a USC. Scroll to page 8 for K-1 and page 9 for K-3.

I do have insurance and a doctor that I only met once. He filled in the form without even asking me any questions.

Is an international Driver’s License valid in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania honors a valid foreign driver’s license with an international driving permit for a period of up to one year. If the foreign license and/or international permit expires before one year, the individual must apply for a Pennsylvania learner’s permit to continue to drive in this state.

I'm having no luck on finding out what I need to do to get my drivers license here? I've been to the DMV website, which says how to apply for a new license, but talks about proving citizenship, etc. The sites not very easy to navigate, and I can't find anything about what immigrants need to do. I've had a UK license since 1998.

Anybody know or can point me in the right direction?

I'd much rather not have to get a car at all, but a job I just applied for would make it pretty much necessary.

Others have told you what you need to do, I just though I would add my own recent experiences.

You would do best to read the manual before you apply for a learner's permit. I didn't know when I went for a learner's permit in PA that I would have to do the computerised knowledge tesat right there and then. I was lucky I passed it as I was planning to pick up a manual after I for my permit. Your UK licence is irrelevant, you will need your green card and proof of your address, either your lease or your mortgage doccuments will do.

The actual driving test here surprisedme, parallel parking was the only bit that was a problem (you do get 3 tries though), I didn't have to do that in the UK when I took my test back in the olden days. The rest of the test was basically a drive around the block, they will fail for if you don't come to an actual stop at stop signs, they will fail you for edging out from a stop sign to get a better view. Other than that it's hard to mess up. I was able to apply online for my test date and print out my appoinment details right away as soon as I had my permit. All in all it took me 18 days from getting my permit to passing my test.

Hey

Does anybody know how to print my phone call history from skype , i don't see an option for it

Thanks

I never found a print option either. I just copied and pasted the history into Word and printed that. It worked best when the page in word was setup to Landscape. I used Print Screen to save each page of Skype history and then just made myself a 38 page list of all our skype calls.

I saw the link on here, followed it and now I'm addicted.

I'm getting so frustrated though because I just can't get past level 49.
