    Since moving here, we have received little to no help with everything. The latest trying to apply for a Learners Licence for my 17yo son. Despite explaining several times, we are from Britian, we do not know what to do, we do not tick/fit the boxes we were constantly told...'it's ok, you just need a,b & c.
    We learnt early on that this was a constant lie as no one actually knew what we did need, now we carry everything with us, everywhere we go (including a phial of the kids blood, only joking, but I do wonder if it would help)
    We have also learnt that although the websites hold lots of information on moving here, there is no information on how or where to do anything.
    Having sucessfully submitted the forms for my son to obtain a TRN, TRAFFIC REGISTRATION NUMBER, we now have to wAIt to collect and then battle with the next stage.
    In order to help you get a TRN when you buy a car or if you have kids that want to learn to drive, I blogged about our experiences in the hope it may help others.
    You can read all about it here.
