Caltrops - The Knuckle Shuffle





	[quote name="Honk Honk"][quote name="Quétinbec"]So for the last 7 years I've been driving on a restricted licence. It's like a full licence but you can't drive children. It hasn't been a big deal because most of the countries I've wanted to drive in don't give a fuck about licences. But the Arabs care, so I have to get my international driver's licence, which means I've got to get my full NZ licence here now, or sit the test in Arabic there. I'm an OK driver but it's the whole "before changing lanes, check side mirrors, rear mirror, AND turn your head to check your blind spot or FAIL" thing. Who does all that shit? Because of the massive testing backlog, there's about a month's wait before you can do the test, so I've got one shot at it before I have to leave, and if I fuck it up, I'm fucked because there's no workable public transport there.[/quote] There's no backlog. A license will cost a few grand in bribes regardless of qualifications. Getting moved out of the mythical backlog is just the first request for payment.[/quote]
