I know, but jail would be the place to hold them until they can process them. Me I'm for pitching tents like they do in AZ to house them in until they process them. The government sure loves it's paper work.

Hubby has a questions, if other States are no longer recognizing our DL's does than mean our DL's are invalid in other States and we are now driving illegally in them? Does this also apply to CDL holders? If that is the case then it creates all kinds of legal nightmares. Insurance would not be valid in case of a wreck. Would you be permitted to continue driving if you were stopped? Or would you have to get some one else with a "valid" license from another State to come move your car? Could you be charged with driving with out a license?

These questions have not been addressed or even voiced. As more and more States consider Tennessee a rogue state and refuse to recognize our DL's we need to start asking our lawmakers to clarify this to us.

I do not know the details of the laws in the four states (so far) refusing to recognize Tennessee driver's licenses. My guess is if they don't recognize TN licenses as valid, they could technically consider you are driving without a license. There is a federal issue regarding interstate travel which might come into play. The federal government could intervene and say that a license "war between the states" might violate Section 1 of Article IV of the U.S. constitution regarding "Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state...."

Commercial Drivers License (CDL) requirements are more stringent. I have one issued in Tennessee and had to take comprehensive written and driving tests which I do not think would be considered invalid by other states.
