LOL......How exactly does someone who "does not speak English" rent a truck????!!!!!

Do the truck/car rental companies have a clue about the fact that we now have an elevated terrorism status? Rental companies should have some detailed info. on those who are renting their vehicles....considering the info. that is necessary these days just to rent a movie!!!!!

Why make the assumption that he rented the truck?

Point to truck and present plenty of green paper which bears Andrew Jackson's pic.

As an aside, my folks came here from Hungary in 1956...learned the english language and became citizens. I recall a few times, my mother (the leadfoot) being stopped for speeding. For some reason, the traffic stop caused her to forget her command of the english language!

I think the same thing applies here. ;-)

It is very easy for someone who does not speak English to rent a truck. Have you been in NYC lately? English is not the first language for most truck drivers. When stopped by the police the 'stress' can cause them to forget any English they ever knew. Any freepers out there in the rental car/truck business? Your input would be welcomed.
