Hard to top this one.
A few years ago while down here for the GP Lewis Hamilton got booked for doing burnouts in a MB he had been lent by MB Australia. The car was confiscated & Lewis had a court date. Some how the whole thing was swept under the carpet with Lewis/MB making a donation to a road safety charity. The car was impounded for some days, I guess some MB exec had to take the bus for a while.

Drivers license are an interesting thing. Normally if you are visiting a friendly country, your home country license is all you need. Over here you can get an international license if you wish to be on the safe side.
