Yeah, it won't work in Maryland.  When I moved back into the state
I went to take the written test again as if I had lived out of state
all my life and wanted a Maryland license.  They couldn't figure out
why I wanted a license because there computer dumped out my complete
driver's history again including a notation that Colorado had taken
my MD license in exchage for theirs.  Finally, they just ended up
giving me a "duplicate" license.

Obviously, moving away did no good.  By the way, moving won't help with
revokation and other heavy things like that as there is a national database
that prevents you from getting drivers licenses in multiple states or getting
a license in a state after yours has been revoked in another.
