Re: What license?
I could be wrong, but I thought the 26,000# vehicle weight limit was a Federal DOT regulation. (?)

I find it really ironic that it says right on a social (in)security card “not to be used for purposes of identification”…

Is the Social Security Award letter that thing they send out once a year telling you your “estimated” benefits?

And of course the end result is that they just drive without licenses.
I swear at least a fourth of the drivers here are illegal aliens with no license and no insurance. But they do a lot or driving, some of it pretty reckless.

I’m not sure you need your social security card to get a driver’s license. They’ve sure never asked me for mine.

I still have a California license. My excuse is California is far more aggressive citing people for having a car registered in California with no California license. As I still have a car registered in CA, I’ve kept the matching license. As an added bonus, it’s good up to 26,000# (for the big truck), while an IL license is only good to 16,000#.
I just leave the ‘IL license number’ blank on any documentation I ever get from the IL SOS department. Both my Saturn and the C-60 (er, recreational vehicle) are registered in IL.

Enjoy the clusterfuck 😉
Because I am a lazy bastard, my NC plates are expired. But, to my credit, I’m having to wait for my new SS Card to come in since I lost mine years back 😛

Well, nuts. I should have hit the ATM, then gone back and asked for “Individual A” 🙂
