I go to Canada regularly and all that is required is a passport to come and go. They don’t have any interest in your DL.
HOWEVER if I was going to Mexico and driving my car...Hmmmmmmmmm
Don’t think I would drive any car to Mexico whether I had a license or a passport or anything at all to show I was USA legal. Those Federales or Federale imposters don’t want anything from you except all your money or whatever else you might value.
You wrote in Ron Paul. Didn’t you?
You can go to Mexico if you want with your car without a license IF you want to: (1) spend a lot of time in a Mexican jail or (2) never be seen alive again. There are plenty of Mexicans who will kill a Gringo and take your car and anything you have with you. Think about it, SERIOUSLY and don’t do it.
Wow, I remember that thread. I also posted on it. Unreal.
Best of luck.
I want to go down and stay.If that is the case and you don't plan on coming back, sell your car while you are still north of the border. Cross over however you like and buy a car/truck in Mexico. If I was you, I'd wait until I was well beyond the border. Take a bus further in. Or, just fly closer to your destination. Regardless, I'd sell your current car if you aren't coming back and buy something in Mexico (or wherever you're headed).
F**kin A man...this thread has turned into a cannibal feast....Pretty damn sad.
“Blood! Bloood for the BloodGod!” -stolen from Warhammer.
Instant classic thread.
Mexico, as a matter of public policy, assumes that its domestic production of criminals is sufficient to meets its needs, and it actively works to discourage foreigners from entering Mexico and committing crimes. I would suggest that you not give Mexican officialdom an opportunity to make an example of you.
I posted on it also. It was way unreal for me.
Some FReeper accused me of posting an obscene picture. We had a moderator confirm I didn’t do it. He apologized.
But then; He went right back with his accusation a second time.
Bizzzz-zarre.
No one’s time is wasted by his decision to post. It’s wasted by their own decision to read it and respond to it. Given the number of responses, lost time doesn’t appear to be a major factor.
You are helping pay for this stuff; may as well use it.
Driving and Vehicle Regulations: U.S. driver's licenses are valid in Mexico. Mexican law requires that only owners drive their vehicles, or that the owner be inside the vehicle. If not, the vehicle may be seized by Mexican customs and will not be returned under any circumstances. The Government of Mexico strictly regulates the entry of vehicles into Mexico. Traffic laws in Mexico are sporadically enforced and therefore often ignored by drivers, creating dangerous conditions for drivers and pedestrians. Driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal in all parts of Mexico. Using a mobile device (such as a cell phone) is also prohibited while driving in many parts of Mexico, including Mexico City, and violators may be fined.
Insurance: Mexican insurance is required for all vehicles, including rental vehicles. Mexican auto insurance is sold in most cities and towns on both sides of the border. U.S. automobile liability insurance is not valid in Mexico, nor is most collision and comprehensive coverage issued by U.S. companies. Motor vehicle insurance is considered invalid in Mexico if the driver is found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
I was just joking. The whole thing was beyond silly.
Thanks, that was what I was looking for.
What is the website for that?
