I had stupidly let my US license expire so I had to get a Mexican license (I thought). You can still rent cars in the US etc. I got stopped in Arizona for speeding on the interstate and the policeman was so confused about my license that he let me go. Bruce got stopped in Mississippi or somewhere in the south and they said there was a formula; you had to pay on the spot and got an official receipt because they realize they could not track you in Mexico. I love both of these. Good for you. Now I have a Missouri license but I'll get another license here.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515309210668656076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-44892609575212437482009-08-12T12:19:33.300-05:002009-08-12T12:19:33.300-05:00For my first Mexican driver's license, I was g...For my first Mexican driver's license, I was given an oral test in a group setting. When I noticed that the examinees were stammering and throwing out the wrong answer, of course, I was compelled to chime in arrogantly with the correct answer. <br /><br />And then during the medical exam, I told the nurse I was something like 27' tall.jennifer rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285568306915329954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-17885966963345153032009-08-12T08:02:50.657-05:002009-08-12T08:02:50.657-05:00Well Billow, that's a thought!

When I got my Mexican DL in 2000, I took a written test in Spanish (and my Spanish was lame then), but no driving test was required. It still is not required where I live. <br /><br />Many Mexicans do not have a DL. My sister-in-law drives without one and with petit mal epilepsy. She has passed out and crashed twice. I love this country.<br /><br />Ms Babs, congrats on the license. I knew you´d get it. But really! A helper!? Ah, San Miguel. You people always amaze.Michael Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720359542700663699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-85587088071596941622009-08-11T00:10:12.804-05:002009-08-11T00:10:12.804-05:00I can't tell you how relieved I am to know tha...I can't tell you how relieved I am to know that Mexican drivers have to take a test. Of some kind, anyway. Probably the examiner was just following form, not willing to get into it with you knowing his English was worse than your Spanish. But hey, it worked!
