Re: international driving license
When I took my tests over here I had to do a 4 hour drug and alcohol awareness course as I never held a U.K. license, I got tripped up on a question asking how many windscreen wipers you HAD to have, and of course thinking back to the U.K. and all these cars with just the one (Mercedes, boy racers, etc.) I said one, where apparently you have to have at least two! As far as the written and practical tests went they were a piece of piss, and for the practical I never actually saw a real road, it was all done in something like a big car park at the DMV! They wonder why the driving is sooo bad over here!

Well I just obtained my AZ licence. Only at the MVD for 1 hour 40 minutes from entering to driving away with the licence this morning. I'm actually frightened at how easy it was to obtain......
