Do you have to have a special driver's license?

Why would you not ask your state's DMV or who ever issues driver's licenses? Don't you think that would be a better option than asking a bunch of people you don't know who most likely don't know? Had you called them you would have already had the answer by now and you would also have the right answer.

Wow. Someone's real cranky today!

Have 'you' ever tried calling a DMV office and get a real person to answer a question? I've tried and have yet to ever get a live person on the phone. Although I can recite where all the DMV centers are and the hours of operation, cause that's all the good a phone call to them is worth.

Nope, not cranky. Just constantly amazed that someone thinks the answers they'll get from people they've never met who may or may not know will give them the right answer. Think about. How silly is it? Any other legal advice you would take from someone on the internet that you don't know? How about asking questions about setting up your will? Or credit card fraud? Would you risk your personal financial situation to a bunch of anonymous folks who may not even have a high school education and most who have absolutely no legal training?
Oh that's right. This is the internet. Everyone knows everything about everything.
How do you know the answer is the correct one? Want to bet your vacation on it? Or are you adventurous enough that you want to spend your time while on vacation sitting along some highway many miles from home to find out what you thought was the right answer was completely wrong?
So what do you suggest? Contact DMV. Yeah, I guess you agree then.
Be safe. Call the people who know the right answer - the people who issue the license.

LOL.. yeah. Some folks value an answer told to them by someone else, regardless if it's the *right* answer.

Having spent 42+ yrs in LE and answering questions from the public on almost a daily basis I learned early on that a lot of people really don't want the correct answer. They only call trying to get someone to agree with them. If you tell them something other than what they want to hear then they'll spend a great deal of effort trying to convince you to agree with them.
