So on a completely random note, I was looking at the back of my drivers license today, and there is a listing of the various codes for restrictions and endorsements and the like ( Read more... )

hahahaha that's funny! tank!! they had "blind" on there? whoa. i don't think my license has anything funny on it :( it looks like a credit card though, my jersey one looked different, normal, but not my florida one!

They have changed the NJ licenses recently. I won't be upgrading until 2006.

The back of my (rather new) license is peeling up, meaning i constantly get shit from out-of-state bouncers who don't believe me when i say "No, really, this is my real license. Yes, i know how crappy it looks. That's how you know it's real."

I haven't gotten the "new" license yet. Glad to hear the high standards we set for ourselves here in NJ is evident to even the most common of men.

They still have brail on the "drive-thru" ATM's?

Re: But... elkoralish August 30 2004, 14:03:09 UTC

Yeah, that always makes me nervous too.

Might "tank" be short for "tanker," indicating the operator is licensed for driving tanker trucks/trailers?

elkoralish August 30 2004, 13:57:42 UTC

you always have to be the killjoy don't you?

but in this instance, no, I don't think so. Why would you abbreviate tanker but spell out motorcycle?

wiseacre August 30 2004, 14:03:53 UTC

Because all motor vehicles have a motor, so you can't use the logical abbreviation for it, as some lawyer would use it to try to argue his client's license allowed him to drive something he didn't have the right to.

But, in the hopes of providing a poncho for the parade you feel I am pissing on:

Wooooohooooo! TANK? That is so cool! Must have been some guy driving all over the town in his tank and they couldn't bust him 'cause he didn't need a license. Ha ha! That must have been nuts!

lol

well you could always use cycle, or maybe even mcycle, tank could be Misconstrued as well you know ;-)

They didn't bother to abbreviate "double/triple trailer" either. And while I know this one would not be so easy to abbreviate, I just can't imagine dropping two letters from a six letter word makes a lot of sense when you are spelling all of the rest of this out.

If I'm a cop, and I see some dude driving a tank by himself down the freeway, I'm going to want to look into it.
