Many transitos cannot spell. Some that I have encountered seemed to not have completed 2nd grade. The verbiage and formality of a legal document may
be lost on such an individual. He may think you are scamming him with a rental lease agreement, or permission for CFE to put a mufa on your property.
The prospects of earning a couple hundred free and clear pesos is a strong incentive.
This is the choice I face. Present a dimwit with a formal, absolutely correct and legal document and prepare myself for an hour of standing on a
roadside only to lose my license. I go to the commandancia, indignant and show a supervisor who can read the document. The cop comes around sooner or
later and declares "That gringo never showed me that document!"
Do you want to go through all that? I don't. So I take a Dick and Jane approach and play show & tell with the dimwit. If he should confiscate the
paperwork I have copies. Some transitos I have encoutered have been real jerks. If they should fire up my temper I stick around and process them which
is a real headache, waste of time and money
