Complete and utter
No bongs.
Times have changed slowly but they do march on.
I kept meeting all these temp workers that were suppose to be documented that had those international drivers licences, they were much like state licenses , picture information as to appearance etc. These licenses allowed drivers to drive in foreign country's.
This was a brilliant con carried out in the basements of Embassy's in NY. For a fee, birth certificates, drivers licences and even green cards were being printed and sold for big bucks.
All went well for YEARS until a town clerk in a Yankee town of 5,000 had a person walk in to register their car. The ID given was the international drivers licence.
The clerk gave some excuse to stop the transaction to go into another room to call the police,
This clerk had an international license and it in no way resembled what she was given,
For one thing her license was on paper not anything like state licenses.
This became a major heads up for all police all over the country that had no idea what a valid international looked like.
Result was thousands on the east coast headed for Richmond VA where there were friendlies in place that for $100 each would get anyone a license. This was semi-shut down in the late 1990's.
For those that bought their Va. license and transferred it to other states, they have now renewed their licenses with no problem. still illegal in the country but legal to drive our roads, drive cars and 18 wheelers, big gas trucks, -----good grief some of them cannot speak English.
