Possibly a large fine and a ban from driving for a period of years or a jail sentence.

I was looking around the net and found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver%27s_license

This bit was under the UK section.

"For example, subject to fulfilling the other license exchange requirements, a Pakistan or PRC driver's license holder can exchange for a Hong Kong driver's licence first. Then exchange for a United Kingdom full licence and in turn convert for an Ontario province licence in Canada. Then exchange the Canadian licence and for a New York state licence."

This is how easy it is to get proof of I.D. and a driving license of several different countries.  :-\

Yeah... you just have to travel to 6-7 countries, and your set... :-\

On a different note, and only related to something said several days ago:

My license expires on the 02.Oct-2079...

I know this is a bit of a tangent, but I was getting confused about the spelling of this as I seemed to be the only one spelling it "Licence".  I was beginning to think it was an irregular noun and I was the one out of date and then I noticed indie's quote and realised that it is probably more usual here in the U.K, and possibly "License" is more an international spelling?

Here's a U.K one:



Just saying, as I thought I was going mad... again :)

For my part, I have been spelling it right but the spell check(which is probably American) kept underlining it in red so I changed it to the given option.  :-\

From the Wiki Page.

"A driver's license, driver license, driver licence, or driving licence (see spelling differences)"

The spellcheck in my head was driving me nuts and needed closure.  I feel much better now.

I can ( and will probably ) get an international license for 50 dolars usd for two years.

I got stopped yesterday. Young cop, one who has a reputation as an <bottom>. I gave him my license/licence, registration and insurance card. I told him this was going to be the second ticket I'd ever received in my whole life. He smiled and asked me who said I was getting a ticket! (Me thinks summer wear has something to be said for it.) And that was it.. No ticket ;D :P

I wasn't allowed to do group therapy. I held an unhealthy influence on the other patients. Even those patients previously unwilling to interact were charted to have been willing participants in all but the last of the disruptions to the daily schedule I planned and staged. <That is from my records. :P They had no sense of humor, shoot, two of the people who worked there, I'd been partying with for years.

I quit seeing my shrink weeks ago. My opinion is that he was an idiot.
Even stopped taking my meds and feel SOOOOOO much better for it.

That last story happened years and years ago. Shortly after 2 of my guy-friends came to visit me there and we had an escape. Little did I know till later they had been devising this plan to break me out. . It was the last of my visits to the laughing academy, and the last time I was on meds. ;)

A driver is pulled over by a policeman:

Man: Is there a problem Officer?
Officer: Sir, you were speeding.
Man: Oh I see.
Officer: Can I see your licence please?
Man: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Man: Lost it 4 times for drink driving.
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Man: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Man: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Man: Yes, and I killed the owner.
Officer: You what?
Man: She's in the trunk if you want to see.

The Officer looks at the man and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer2: Sir, could you step out of your vehicle please! The man steps out of his vehicle.

Man: Is there a problem sir?
Officer2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Man: Murdered the owner?
Officer2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car please.

The man opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.

Officer2: Is this your car sir?
Man: Yes, here are the registration papers.

The officer is quite stunned.

Officer2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving licence.

The man digs in his pocket revealing a wallet and hands it to the officer. The officer opens the wallet and examines the licence. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer2: Thank you sir, one of my officers told me you didn't have a licence, stole this car and murdered the owner.
Man: Bet you the lying so-and-so told you I was speeding, too!

I got to do that!!!!

I once actualy back in 1997 demanded that a cop stop me for drinking while driving.
He was at the stoplight next to me when I did it, we both had our windows down.
I was drinking a Mountain Dew and actualy quoted the law to him that if someone is found drinking ( unspecified in the Oklahoma Stautes) that they were to be stopped, arested and thier licence taken from them, not to mention posible jail time.
I think he thought I was nuts or something.
