Review 5-year residency limit for Moldovans to exchange their driving licences

Background
Many Moldovan citizens in the UK are disappointed that the driving licence exchange agreement excludes those who have been living here for more than 5 years, which we believe causes an unfair divide. We kindly request that this be reviewed and that the Government considers creating a fair transition period so that all Moldovans can exchange their licences.
