driving on the right...or is is the left?

I've got good news and bad news.

The good news is I found out I can get a company car!

The bad news is I have to now get a UK driving license. Unfortunately my US license is only good 12 months from the date I became a resident. I think it should be 12 months from the time I start driving but I doubt the government is really going to hear me out on this one. That means I have to apply for a provisional (temporary) license, pass a written test and a practical driving test. Deja vu. Didn't I already do this 10 years ago?? This is definitely one of those experiences I was hoping not to repeat.
