You can wish for it, but most states nowadays require you to have an EAD or green card to get a DL.... Not sure which state you reside in, worth a try.
Btw you can get a DL on K1 but that would expire in 90 days from your date of entering the country. After that I don't think you can use your UK DL because you have an expired US one...
 
Honestly I would not risk it without the AP. It is your choice, but I would not trust ppl saying on forums that they know somebody who came back using only a DL. A lot of non residents can get DL like work visa, student visa, etc which are MULTIPLE re entry visas not like the K1 so the can leave the country and come back while their visa is valid. Your K1 visa is void at the moment you got stamped at the border when you arrived to the states.

I don't think so...
 
"If you are not a U.S. citizen or a U.S. LPR, you will need a passport and/or the appropriate documentation based on the status you are seeking in the U.S. for any type of cruise, closed loop or not"

Neither of you were in the same position as the OP. 
 
He is a K-1 visa holder trying to reenter the US without AP.  Vastly different from a US citizen with an EDL or green card holder with an I-551.  
 
The bottom line is that the OP leaving the US without AP will be a reason to deny his AOS and leave him stuck.  

What happened years ago does not apply today...especially since the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative which changed requirements for US passports (and Ied to EDLs).  You said your wife had the I-551 in her passport...so, she had a I-551.  You, the US citizen had an EDL...so, you had the required documents...so, how does that make my information wrong???
I don't want to argue with you, but I also don't want people to cause problems for themselves by accepting incorrect information.

Incorrect.  An Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) is all a US citizen needs...non-citizens need proper documentation, such as an I-551 for LPRs, and visas or ESTA as required/appropriate for all others.  
 
 

Don't worry about it, if they ask tell them. If they don't ask don't tell them. Someone I know made up a social security number and they didn't even ask about it. It really depends who you get, if they're having a good or bad day. But always tell the truth!

USCIS to have access to the tax information should have a court order.Section 6103(a) imposed a confidentiality requirement upon federal tax return information. IRS just disclosure informations as specified by the Internal Revenue Service Section 6103

USCIS asks the sponsor's tax returns because they can NOT get the information from the IRS, otherwise why ask for it?LOL.

In your interview limit to answer what he will ask you ,and of course tell the truth IF he asks about work history.Good luck

So they don't have any way to really look you up unless they're intent on tracking you down by name.
What could happen is that they will look at how long you've been here and say "are you sure you never worked?" That's the time to tell them "yes, actually I did work in 2010 (or whatever.)"
Don't panic, what's done is done. Your story serves as a lesson for anyone else, so thank you for sharing it. This process is stressful enough without these added concerns.
Now, it's time to hope for the best, cross your fingers, pray (if that's your thing) and wait it out.
Edit: I just read Harp's reply above - and I like it. Have a new form ready to go.

I don't think this misrepresentation is material, because illegal employment is forgiven for spouses of USCs. This illegal work will NOT decide the difference between denial and approval. Why on earth a lawyer advised to lie when telling the truth would have zero negative effect is beyond me...
If I were you, I would complete a new G-325A and have it ready to present at interview. You can say "I made an error on my form and wanted to hand in a new one" and see what happens.
