I doubt if the bureaucrats here are any worse than in England or anywhere
else, and perhaps better than in, say, Germany.  You have to understand
that the people who are complaining are used to internet speeds.

See http://www.dmv.ca.gov/mc_hdbk/mctoc96.htm (email me if you don't have
a browser).  There is probably a way for you to use your [whereever] license
but I don't know the details and I would expect you need to get something
done before you come to the US.  Ask your local driving association, I guess.
You can search www.leginfo.ca.gov for the laws on it, but I don't know that
that won't be a wild goose chase for you.

Yes, they do have the most restrictive emissions standards.  There has been
a very informative thread or three on this in ba.motorcycles, use dejanews to
see.
