Probably the most painful post ever

Ladies and Gentlemen who read here... it is with great sadness and pain that I present the following evidence to support my position on this thread. Tony Lee is well versed in international law and might well be an attorney, and Markarf's advice is usually very solid. Unfortunately, and I mean that, in this specific post, both are in error.
In no way do I want this destruction of their mutual argument to reflect upon their remarks on other threads or their character in general. I feel both have supported my positions in the past and I have supported them. Just because they are wrong here does not mean they are always wrong. Matter of fact I have great respect for both of these gentlemen.

Cover photo3062 clearly presents an International Driving License I purchased from a branch of the American automobile Association, Phoenix Arizona with a start date of 01 November, 2015 and expiration October 31, 2016.

Page 1 photo3063 lists the Pan American countries where this International driving License is valid.

Pages 6&7 photo3067 clearly states that this International Driving License was issued by the American Automobile Association on 01nov2015.

Pages 8&9 photo3066 presents a photo of me with the official stamp/seal of the American Automobile Association.

I do not expect the apology from Tony Lee or markarf that I doubt will be forthcoming anyway. But to clarify the matter, I have never stated that an International Driving License is a stand alone document - it must be accompanied by a valid country or State of the US license.

The question originally posed here was whether a Driving License was requested at the border wither upon leaving Colombia or entering Ecuador and my response after crossing that border 4 times was no!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
