Policia Vial

Many years ago, in our RV days, we did the same thing with our licenses from California. During a stop in Guadalajara, (we had made a legitimate traffic mistake) he gave them the excellent copy of his license. One glance and the cop said it was a fake. In the end, I think it actually cost us more.

We wanted to be legal, but it was a Sunday morning, the next day a holiday, and we were on our way here, just 7 hours away. We paid what he demanded, the only time in 25+ years of travel here that we got "taken."
