Are they Serious???

[Savanphil 3]

Savanphil,

It might be worth going into a Driving Licence Center and asking. I filled out all the papers from the PennDot site, only to be told when I got there that I didn't have to, and all they needed was my husbands passport or birth certificate.

Good luck.

Maybe we should have Amish buggy's eh broma?

I will look into it, Thank you.

No maybe they should invest some money in a decent public transportation system that would allow some of the idiots on the road to take public transport!

And before I get slated for calling some of the drivers idiots...............since when when did learning to drive involve holding a cell phone to one ear with one hand, drinking coffee with the other.....ah now it just came to me why they dont use turn signals its because they dont have a free hand to use the lever....

and this is exclusive to immigrant drivers HOW?

It's not exclusive to immigrant drivers....jeez..get a sense of humour people!! I am 100% sure the poster (who is obviously joking so lighten up!) meant 'they' as in PA drivers as a whole, not 'they' as in immigrant drivers only. I know that because no one can drive or knows how to signal a turn in Charlotte, NC also (apart from me of course)

Remember, if you don't smile at jokes & you take everything seriously and be totally humourless, you might even get a job with the USCIS...wouldn't that be nice....!

oh my bad, really thanks for clarifying this. its so glaringly obvious that what is quoted below is a joke.

Glad you found the correct info, although it would make for pleasant driving in the state of PA if only citizens were allowed to drive.

I was not meaning to offend any immigrants, goodness I am an immigrant myself and I drive.....i was meaning that if only citizens were allowed to drive it would cut down on traffic. I was certainly not advocating that immigrants should not be allowed to drive.

Although I was serious about the cell phones and lack of turn signals..........lol

What the @#$%

Only US citizen's can drive in the state of Pennsylvania

I certaintly hope that this is not true, maybe there is an acception that I do not know about but accroding the their website:

Proof of U.S. Citizenship

You'll need to prove that you're a U.S. citizen in order to get a driver's license in Pennsylvania by producing one of the below documents. All must be original; photocopies will not be considered valid.

• United States birth certificate with raised seal
  
• Certificate of U.S. citizenship
  
• Certificate of naturalization
  
• U.S. passport
  
  
• U.S. military photo identification card
  

This really sucks for us.....I was hoping he could get his license some time this year.

this right here shows how stupid this law is. nessa has a us military id card.

Because there would be less cars on the road....sometimes its pretty hair raising driving in PA with the amount of traffic and the way they drive

The way "they" drive? What makes you think US citizens are better drivers than non-US citizens? What a strange comment . . .

i'd much rather be on a road with a bunch of german drivers

I dont mind what country people are from as long as they use the turn signals and let others know what manouvre they are about to make.

At first I felt the same way about the driving license problem, however then I found out how it was all ok after all!

Now if only insurance wasn't so damn expensive....;-)

You are kidding right? I heard that German drivers don't even consider the speed limit to exist!

Half the drivers here in Toledo/S Michigan/Detroit don't bother to signal either. It's like you'll be driving down the interstate and someone changes lanes in front of you and you're like "sure, come on over buddy!"

[broma25 2]

Also when merging onto a highway why dont drivers slow down/brake at the yield sign, my experience is that the only drivers that slow down and brake are the ones already on the highway.

I know I'm late here, but I called the PA DMV a few weeks ago and posted this:

" checked out Pennsylvania's requirements and the website said US Citizenship should was required. I called and they said K1 visa holders need the following: Passport, I-94, Soc SEcurity Card, Marriage Certificate, Proof of Residency(utility bill, name on a lease, etc), and proof of spouse's citizenship. "

They drive on the wrong side of the road

That would be a heck of a contrast though. In my state, they're even trying to issue licenses to ILLEGAL immigrants.

This problem is everywhere, not just PA. Im in washington, and everyday before i drive, i always make sure i have my middle finger ready.
