I never said tourists would not be allowed to drive, they should, as long as they have a valid driver's license in their own country. Tourist != illegal immigrant

But, somehow I doubt an illegal immigrant would want to use the driver's license from their country of origin. On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 9:49 AM, Dana <[email protected]> wrote: > > whatever.
