Since I'm PR and my wife isn't, guess I can always get TIP in her name, since we'd be driving into a non-free zone together.

So, it looks like for those wanting to go beyond the free zone, give up PR status, or get a MX DL and MX plated vehicle?

It may be worth getting a Mex car and license if you're a resident. I have a friend who claims he paid close to one half as compared to San Diego prices for a 2016 Honda. He lives 1/2 time in GDL. He keeps the car there and flies back and forth.

You are very wrong. Because I don't wish to share all the details of my life and why I do things I do, doesn't mean I am "gaming" any system. If I don't want to share it, then it's just none of your business.

Not fully spilling my guts over every little thing, particularly on a public forum, means nothing. But... if you wish it to be so, you can make up all sorts of stories and ideas about it. Go ahead.

I don't think hiring an excellent local attorney is the "cheapest way" to do anything. It is though, probably the best way to be sure you do something correctly.

The answer to the question below is to game the system, and look for loop holes so you don't have to follow Mexican, US laws.

JoeJoe,
Do you really care where and how the elderly gringo retirees in Mexico get their drivers licenses?
I just hope they take give up the oversized trucks and take uber, as their reflexes and eyesight ain’t so good anymore, and they endanger us spring chickens πŸ“

I'll be the first geezer to agree with you on that. I'm 70 and I am no longer relaxed behind the wheel. I much prefer a limo with a chauffeur on a perfectly smooth road while sipping an ice-cold c-cktail. I'll have to find a young guy (gal) next year in Mulege to drive me around, fetch the purified water and prepare my c-cktails. I'll supply the limo, or as close to one I can find.

Respect your elders and pay your social security taxes goat.

Driving in Mexico


For a Mexican driving test to be truly reflective of one's ability to fit in to the traffic scheme, one should be tested on the road and scored on (among other things) their ability to safely run stop signs/red lights, pass in dangerous situations and daringly exceed speed limits. Additionally, they might score on disposing of trash (especially beer containers) while underway.

At the end of the test, they could award an "achievement" sticker for the vehicle such as I created years back for my vehicles:
