"新"墨西哥駕照前傳
Nov. 9th, 2006
Pic: Ming 的滷肉飯

話說Ming的駕照應該還跟著皮包應該在亞特蘭大流浪著....
這麼無照駕駛了快兩個禮拜 還真的心理給他毛毛的
正所謂夜路走多了 總有一天會碰到鬼/條子.....

於似 禮拜四 請了半天假
來到了新墨西哥的MVD (Motor Vehicle Division) 說也奇怪 在DC 這地方明明就叫做 DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle) 就是有人這麼機車要搞得不一樣......
台灣或許該學學這強大而且萬夫莫敵的美國......
台北來個監理所 高雄應該搞個所監理....
不曉得這樣中國大陸會不會對台灣心生畏懼些....?!?

上網查了辦新駕照應該準備的東西.....
社會安全卡 / Social security Card.......................Check
當地居住證明 / 租賃合約 / Leasing Agreement......Check
兩份居住地址帳單 / Utility Bill..............................Check
官方身份證明 / 中華民國護照 / ID or PassPort.......Check

正所謂對付美國人 就是要白底黑字
所以呢 Ming多帶些救命的東西.....

中華民國核發之國際駕駛執照................................Check
中華民國核發之當地駕駛執照................................Check
美國移民局 / INS 核發H1-B工作證明正本...............Check
美國移民局出入境證明 I-94.................................Check
公司的最近兩個月的薪水支票正本..........................Check

恩.......... 應該是夠了 看你們這些混蛋怎麼叼我
Ming可是他碼的 ......................"有備而來"


到了MVD....很慶幸的還沒啥人潮..... 排了隊 跟櫃臺的服務人員說明了來意....... "駕照遺失 要辦領當地新駕照"
拿了號碼牌 等了一個小時左右...... 終於輪到了Ming
點交了應該附上的呈堂物證...... 心理正得意著......
不難麻...... 還滿有效率的阿......

此時..........
竟然被額外的附加問了一句.......
XX: "Was your license a local driver's license?!!"

Ming: "NO....its a DC's driver's license..... you have my social security number, i think you can look it up on their data base........"

XX: "I am sorry sir.....We CAN NOT look for any records outside of new mexico!! You need to call DC's MVD and request them to fax over your driver's Record.... I can give you their number and the fax number here, I CANT help you without your Driver's Record..... come back here after you call them........"

就說麻......
美國哪有這麼快的事情？？！！
到了外面走廊 打了剛剛拿到的電話回DC的DMV.....
說明了來意........ 不過呢....

聽到的答案倒是頗會讓人爆青筋..
對方是這樣說的........
"Sorry, sir. you are NOT allowed to request your Driver's Record either on-line or by phone..!! You HAVE TO either write us a letter with all your documents that are necessary or visit DC DMV in person......"

那這下不就好玩了？？！ 一個說行 一個說不行？！
Ming現在到底是在墨西哥還是新墨西哥？？！

你們確定是同一國的嗎?!?


好吧..... 山不轉路轉 路不轉Ming轉........
再度回到了櫃臺...... Ming重考駕照總行了吧？！
答案是....... "可以重考筆試...... 三個月後再來路考...!! "
我勒開玩笑加莊孝維.....
要Ming繼續無照駕駛三個月??!!
現在到底是你是白癡還是Ming是白癡?? 都說了駕照不見了 還要Ming等三個月???!

哪................. 只剩最後一招了.......@@
記得當初在DC的駕照就是這樣子搞來的.......
" 國際駕駛職照換領當地駕駛職照加考筆試......!! "...

櫃臺服務人員問了問身後的主管......
hey hey...... gotcha... you bastards!!
Ming果真是太天才了...... 真是百年難得一見的天才

拿出了救命的東東...... 國際駕照 + 中華民國駕照......

心中正洋洋得意的想著......
"Ming... Ming.... You are such a god damn fucking genius....!!! 你們這些混蛋王八蛋...... 跟我鬥.... 老子可是有備而來的........"


正當心中爽到一個不行時.......
櫃臺內傳出了一句話........
XX: "Is your original local Driver's License written in English??!!"

Ming: "No..... but it says the same thing with my international Driver's License.... i can show you..."

XX: "Nope..... you need a certificated office to translate that into ENGLISH.... here has some number you can call them for help... "

Ming: "WHAT?!! come on.... its the same thing like you see on my international Driver's License...."

XX: "Sorry..... you need someone certificated to translate that for you.."

Ming: "God please...... This is F.................................... RIDICULOUS.............."

正當火冒三丈的Ming 面對著這既無奈 又無理的要求時....... 本來是想說...."FUCKING BULLSHIT....!!" 停了兩秒鐘...... 這F字又吞了回去.......@@



這就是美國...............

寄人籬下........ 還能說啥？？！！




















































還沒完呢.......
還有更美國的.......@@

坐回車上...... 想了想......
先問看看翻譯要多少錢再看看下一步怎麼做吧......
就這麼照著他給的電話 打過去詢問了價錢......
小小一張駕照 是能要多少錢??!! 心理是這麼想著...

自從確定電話的另一端有在翻譯中文後.......
老覺得自己是在跟語音答錄機講話......

問了對方需要多少錢...... 不說？！
那....."大概"要多少錢..... 也不說？！
那換個方式問好了......
經驗值上花費的"範圍"會是多少??!! ..... 還是不說..!!?

這下Ming火氣又來了..... 問了最後一次....

Ming: "Have you ever seen a Driver's License written in Chinese before?? ...."

XX: "Yes, I do sir....."

Ming: "So why is that so god damn hard to tell me a range how much it gonna cost in your experience???!! "

XX: "I told you sir. We need to see the actual document .................................................................
........................."

Ming: "Yeah.... i knew it. You told me the same thing 4 times..... Cant you come up with something new??!! Give me a break..."

XX: ".... so you want our fax number......"

Ming: "NO~~~~~~~~~~~~~"


美國.............. 真的好.....屌~~~~

Ming 認輸了...... 乖乖寫封信回DC吧......

繼續無照駕駛中....... 警察先生請閃開........＠＠



Ming投降.......輸一半....@@

可以嗎？！
