Then the cop looked at her valid, current insurance and said it wasn't good and gave her a ticket for that. Finally, she got a ticket for an Alberta drivers license! The cop said she should have a Texas license. The cop also asked her to read her license because the cop couldn't read Canadian! (I couldn't make this up!) I'm guessing she had never heard of Canada before?

My daughter is a U of Houston International student. She couldn't get a Texas driver's license even if she wanted one because you need a social security number which she doen't have since she is from out of the country.

As it turns out the mother of her friend is a lawyer so I think it will get handled rather quickly.
