I got stopped today for not stopping at a stop sign.
I showed him my gaijin card and my UK drivers licence (ID card with photo
type) after a few ums and arrs , right angle head cocking and 2 more
policemen arriving and asking the same questions they said I could go .

Told ya UK licence is the best in the world   :)


"it was probably cos they didnt want the extra paperwork" someone in the
back row said.
