Tell the clerk "I want to be licensed as a brand-new driver and I'm hear
to take the driving test." Then surrendering your existing license and
informing the other state won't happen.

 
Better be careful. I'm pretty sure-- not 100%, but pretty sure-- it's
illegal to have valid driver licenses from multiple states at the same
time.
 
States share info under the Driver License Compact, so they'll know if
you have a valid license elsewhere when you apply for the new one.

 
I'm waiting to get my daughter's permission to open the letter but I
got a letter addressed to her from the Ministry of the Attorney
General which is interesting since she hasn't lived her since 2014.
I.e. not only NOT in province but not in Canada either.
 
I plan on scanning the letter for her when I eventually open it but
I'm pretty sure she's not coming from Europe to attend a jury summons.
 
I've been called 3 times in the last 20 years and the first time
excused on compassionate grounds (I ran a family business and my
mother had been killed in an auto-pedestrian crash 3 weeks earlier and
with her passing was running the business on the first one, the second
was a civil jury where the case was settled out of court before trial,
the third I was challenged by the defence lawyer) so I wouldhave been
less surprised if the letter had been for me.

 
Now that I'm retired, I'd like to get a jury summons. Seems like an
interesting way to spend some time. Of course I could do without all the
extraneous hassle, like parking, sitting in waiting rooms, etc.

 
So first you take a cab to the bus stop or have the girlfriend drop you
off. Then you spend an hour or two on the bus (starting at six in the
morning) to get to the bad neighborhood where the court is. Then you go in
And sign in and sit. And wait. This is your Monday. If they don’t get to
you, you get to repeat it Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday. And Friday.
If they never get to you Friday, you’re excused.

L.A. shockingly does this better than you. You don't have to show up, you
can just call in every night to see if you're up the next day.

Parking would be a bitch, though, because I don't have my "I can park
anywhere I like so suck it" placard anymore.
