I’m not sure what the strangest part about getting our French drivers licenses was:
- that we could directly exchange them for our Alberta license - without having to prove any comprehension of the French driving rules- or even evidence of an understanding of what all the road signs mean (which is very fortunate)
- that Alberta registries claimed a computer error had lost the actual dates of our first issuance of our drivers license - so they basically made it up
- when they did so - the records now show that I have been driving for 2 years less than Susan - which is off by about 4 years.
- That my license allows me to drive a car here - while my lovely wife can also drive a scooter/small motor bike.
- that it was actually July 1 - Canada Day - that we were standing in a French national office trading in our Canadian licenses for French ones.
- that it’s a lifetime document, with no expiry date - yet it is not even laminated.
