An interesting article aimed at Americans. A question..if an American followed your advice and surrenders their Californian driving license before relocating how do they then drive in their new country? UK, for example, allows people to use their home country license for 12 months while they take the test to get a UK license. China, as another example, allows foreigners to just take a computer exam to get a Chinese license if they have a valid foreign license. So they’ve given away their easy options by surrendering their license early.
The simple answer is - they find out they’ve done things out of sequence and yeah, they can’t drive. Or, perhaps more accurately, they realize their new country treats them as if they’re 16 again, and they need to permanently learn how to drive if they intend to live life in that country.
