I asked that they provide a postal address for me to send payement too, They wouldn't provide That and they said it might endanger his contact inside the DVLA if he provided a address in the UK to send payment too.

So I haven't Proceeded yet, I am still trying to find the 1800 GBP to put the order in (for me thats 3000 AUD)

again I say GREED

I need a C1 class licence to drive a LGV vehicle( light truck, camper motor home) in UK /europe, My australian licence Class C (vehicle up to 4.5 ton) isn't accepted by the DVLA for change over, nor is it acepted to Drive a vehicle that size as a visitor to uk. Weights of heavey vehicles are different between Europe and Australian class, our Heavey vehicle licence start at 4.5 ton, and Europes start at 3.5 ton.

that way I tryed to get the eastern european website licence,Hungry or Germany Licence option, only to get scammed.
Were in Australia I can drive a light goods Truck 3 ton up, in Europe I can't, Just a car size vehicle.

And what happens if you are involved in an accident?Which is more than likely..this is a small country with a dense population and our roads are full to bursting with traffic unlike the smaller population of Australia in a much larger continent.

You have to see that the idea is completely mad.

Maybe he is still there maybe he s gone from the DVLA now,
If he s gone is there will always be someone else taking his place, and the European an chinese fake Sites continue scaming people, and the UK dosn't stop it.

Well when you get stopped, and the police find your DL is dodgy you will got to jail and be unlikely to get bail as you would be deemed a 'flight risk'.

When you are found guilty you will go to a british prision, you may get lucky and get a transfer to a Aussie prison to serve the rest of you term.

Movelicence.com do a search on that
FulldrivingLicence.com

UKID for a fakes

The under the counter UK licence is legal because it is isuued by the DVLA

So what would UK law enforcement rather do , Go after Dodgee or Non UK licenced drivers For Unlicenced driving. and Get Convictions.

Where what they should do is shut down the Overseas Website selling Fakes, and go after the people in the UK doing this, then there won't be a problem of unlicenced driving.

Just the ones that chose to do because they don't bother tp try to get a licence.

Me I have a Driver Licence from my country that isn't accepted by the DVLA, I have had much Discusion with the DVLA UK On this. Problem still not resolved.

A UK driving license does not get renewed every 5years.
In short you're talking mince.

I can't get a legal one on exchange because I am not a resident, (185 day residency rule, that there to stop europeans loseing there licence in one country and going to another and get, passing a test in another)

Why is my current licence not recognized in the UK, a UK licence is recognized in Australia, you don't have to be retested.

I personally no a man a former citizen of the uk (well still a citizen, he still has a UK passport) he is now a perment resident in Australia (my state) (we works in Australia etc pay tax), he has a state driving licence, he didn't have to surrender his UK Licence, In fact he still renews his UK licence every 5 years or so via mail order, Internet, and credit transaction, and he dosn't even live in the UK.
