One of my favorite things to say to people who complain about this and that.
Do you know the difference between an ordeal and an adventure????????????????
ATTITUDE
You have to have the right attitude to survive, no, to thrive here.

The bottom line is if you are driving an American plated vehicle you must have an American License. If you are driving a Mexican Plated Vehicle then
you must have a Mexican Drivers License. It is the law in Mexico if you are driving a car in Mexico. My vehicle was impounded here in Ensenada years
ago when my Wife was driving my car with a Mexican License. I researched the law at that time and it was correct and I dont think it has changed since
then.

If u want a license it was very easy in Mulege. It was for me anyway. I think it was $7 or $12. Write down your name and (Mexican)address on a piece
of paper and hand it to the secretary. I don't think I even showed her an ID. Then tell her your blood type. Next, drive a few blocks and get your
photo taken at a nearby residence with a nice little studio. Then go back to the secretary give her the three photo copies. She will afix one to the
new license, keep one and u get one and then go to the lamination store and presto, good to go! Unbelievable!

BajaVida - Sorry - but what you're saying here is just not true. I have Mexicans with only a mexican DL drive my US plated vehicles all the time in
the US - I checked with the CHP about 15 years ago and then again fairly recently. It's perfectly legal as long as they have insurance.
Mexicans get deported when they don't have the proper passport/visa - but CHP and local police really aren't interested in enforcing it unless a major
crime has been commited.

Having a Mexican drivers license
and driving both vehicles with Ca. plates, I have been pulled over on numerous occasions. I show them my Mexican drivers license and it is usually a
done deal.
I figure they realize I am poor when they see the cars and license.
