Check this site from the U.S.
Did you know that you can see anyone's Drivers License on the Internet including your own? It's an American base, but apparently it links into the UK now we have photo licenses, and to the US where they've been for years. I just searched for my licence, and there it was, picture and all. Where it asks what state - put your city and UK. This was something I didn't know you could do. I'm not sure I like this info out there for anyone to access.
DOES THIS BREACH THE PRIVACY ACT OR WHAT?

DONT DO IT.... IT LOOKS LIKE A SCAM TO ME !!!


The header URL is from http://cgi.slygreetings.com/

The HTML is fairly nondescrpt:

HTML>


license info





The Get your free URL smacks of something iffy to me !!


"quote" me to see the HTML.. Ted's code won't let me show it..

Prank, yes - Scam no, just a wee joke..

Funnily enough though, I input my sister-in-law's details as she lives in the U.S. of Arse - and it *did* show her photo..
