If you pull over somebody from Germany or France for example, how do you guys make sure that person's license is valid and everything is good to go? Lets say he or she just moved here like a week ago and didn't go to the DMV yet.
On the flip side, US expats appear to have it easy trying to get a German license, but I wonder how the polizei can look things up for the US driver in Germany.
"The lucky American expats are those who come from one of the 26 US states (plus Puerto Rico) that have full reciprocity with Germany. They can walk into their local Führerscheinstelle with their US driver’s license and a few other documents and get a German license without any tests at all. But there is another group of Americans almost as fortunate: those who come from the 10 states (and D.C.) with partial reciprocity. They will only have to take the written test for a German license. (Note: The German written test is far more difficult than the typical US written test.) All the Canadian provinces and territories have full-exchange agreements with Germany. (See the full list below.)" - http://www.german-way.com/germany-dr...ciprocity.html
