So does it really matter if I get one or not? What about a Z visa? That is a year long work visa, so i should be able to get the license with that correct?
Well it doesn't matter to us whether you get creamed or not, but do you have any loved ones may care? Does it matter if you get deported? Are you very wealthy to pay fines, compensation etc if something happens with no insurance?
