I don't think you will have any problems here, since I haven't heard
anybody here talk about WP yet... I don't think BayBox/DPBox/(DieBox) have
it implemented.

Funny stuff you got there, just swapping your prefix. The last time I
tried to get a British (reciprocal) license, they told me I couldn't,

German born, then 9 years USA, now 14 years DL... I can't say that I've
had problems with either country. I think I'd even survive the-land-where-
