Getting Licenced in California - Pls Help
Hi All
My planned trip has been delayed and so was going to get a UK licence (costing c. £550) but saw on here that it may be possible to acquire a California licence as a visiting Brit when I am there buying a Bike to take South in June/July.
I've read up on it and it looks like all I will need is to present my passport and I-94 / ESTA document to the DMV in order to qualify for a Cali permit, then pass the relevant theory & skill tests (costing c.$50). As you can see the difference in price would be at least another month on the road!
Can anyone from California, or any foreign visitors that have done it recently confirm that this is indeed the case presently? Would not want to commit to this plan if it will be impossible to get that licence...
Also anything else i need to think about apart from a registration address? DMV.ORG - DMV Guide - The Unofficial Guide to the DMV doesn't give any idea of how long the reg documents take to arrive either?
Thanks in advance!
Jamie
