Update on buying MX plated cars & MX license

[roberb7]

I got a GTO driver's license today, and did so by following Jzmackenzie's instructions.

As she implied, you have a choice of how many years you want the license for. It now costs 705 pesos for five years. I went for three years, and that was 570 pesos.

The only problem I had was, the phone bill I had was for December. The guy said it was too old. I also had a bank statement that was less than a month old. He wouldn't take that, either. It had to be a phone bill, water bill, or electric bill. So, I went to an internet cafe across the street, logged into my phone company account, downloaded the latest bill, printed it, and went back across the street to the DMV.

When I went in there, I had the faint hope that they would give me the equivalent of my British Columbia Class II license (which allows me to drive highway coaches with air brakes), which they call Type B. Nothing doing. The rule is, you can't get a Type B license until you've had a Type A (the common ordinary license for cars and pickup trucks) for three years. Not a big deal, since I can't legally work in Mexico anyway.
