For example, California driver's licenses are no longer valid in Oregon after 30 days, and you have to take Oregon's test to get an Oregon license if you move in from California because of CA's lack of enforcement. (On the other hand, Oregon's heavyhanded enforcement means that California plates serve as a warning sign to other drivers and the ones that move here find they can't just ask for a license and get it like they do down south, they actually have to learn how to drive the right way). -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): baloo@ursine.ca
