you might not recall the name Suzi Quatro, but in the 70s, she was a significant pop culture character... both in rock music, and acting on Happy Days as Leather Tuscadero, the younger sister of Pinky Tuscadero, an old flame of Fonzie's

She was born in Detroit, and opened for Alice Cooper in Chicago in the winter of 75, and was on Happy Days in 7 episodes. She had a famous duet song in '78, "Stumbling In"

She was on the cover of Rolling Stone! Jan '75

Quatro moved to the UK from Detroit aged 21 in 1971 and only discovered in January that her US driving license was only valid for 12 months after entering the country, meaning she's been driving illegally here since 1972.

"I was told when I started to drive in this country that my American license was fine," 75-year-old Quatro told The Mirror earlier this week. "And over the years I was insured, I had speeding tickets."

"Can you believe it?" she continued. "I only found out in January because the US laws changed too, and they won’t renew your American license unless you can prove you have been in the particular state your license is from for the last six months, and of course, I can't. I live here. So I needed a British license.

"I'm 75, for god’s sake. I’ve been driving since I was 16."

Quatro took her test on Wednesday 18th March and thankfully passed at the first attempt.

Breaking the good news to The Mirror, she enthused: "I passed! I’m so pleased. It’s such a relief. I got a couple of minors, nothing big. 

"My husband was so pleased. He sent messages all over the world to friends of ours. He’s so proud. At 75 it's quite an achievement."
