I think the answer really varies from state to state, but it is possible in some cases. Several years ago, I was in the Air Force and stationed in Kansas. My state of residency was Wisconsin at the time. I bought a motorcycle, and wanted to get a motorcycle endorsement. Wisconsin required a driving test, would not accept the Kansas test, or anything short of having me schedule a test with a Wisconsin examiner and take leave to go to Wisconsin for the test. What to do? I went down to the Kansas DMV and explained the situation. They issued me a Kansas drivers liscense, using my Wisconsin liscense as proof of competence (written test only). When it came time to renew the Wisconsin liscense, they asked whether I had a valid liscense in any other state. I replied that I had a Kansas liscense. They then required me to turn in my Kansas liscense before getting a new Wisconsin one. I went back to Kansas, and they issued me a duplicate, even though Wisconsin had sent a request for cancellation. So.. find out about requirements in other states, especially Western states where requirements are a bit looser.

Boy am I glad there is a whole country between me and Baker. This twit brags about being a poor driver. If he were in New Jersey, he would probably raise everyone's insurance rates by 10% just because he is such a twank. T. C. Wheeler

Wheeler Friend, you have a lot to learn, mostly about the basics of communication. If you read the article I posted with a little more care, you'd realize that I did not: A. Label myself a poor driver. or B. Brag about anything. I merely described the mechanics of reciprocity as the exist for DMV's in these United States. I unfortunately have a lot of experience with this. For your information, and for the enlightenment of the readers of net.auto in whose presence I have been slandered, my insurance was cancelled because of an excessive number of small violations, e.g., failure to stop, improper turn, etc. These were harrasment tickets issued by the local police who didn't like the loud but rather slow sports car I drove. Regarding your insurance, if you haven't figured out how it works by now then you are just plain stupid as well as insulting. Insurance companies charge high rates to people in high risk catagories, such as teenagers and people with a lot of tickets. They also offer low rates to people with clean records. If your insurance company doesn't offer a good driver discount, then change insurers and find one that does. Also, look both ways before you cross a street and don't play with pointed sticks. Those things are dangerous... As to your personal comments, I've got a feeling you haven't been on the net for very long. Such things are frowned upon. Besides, if you have been reading the news for a while then you'd know that I'm the guy that's been trying to get net.rec.rugby going for a long time. I wouldn't feel too safe if I were you. I've been planning to head for the East Coast next spring. As Hunter Thompson said to John Chancellor, "You can run, but you can't hide." Be seeing you, Wheeler. Rugby players eat their dead, Bill "Bobo" Baker P.S. If it makes you feel any better, I got a letter from the Oregon DMV last week telling me that my right to hold an Oregon driver's license had been suspended.

Maybe *you* think driving at 56 mph or greater is dangerous, but a lot of us out here in netland don't think so. -- John Allred General Computer Company uucp: seismo!harvard!gcc-milo!john ^^^^ note new path-------------||
