Thanks for this information.  I was watching one of these dramatic court
shows and the defendant or plaintiff, I don't know which, said she had to
put a car in her boyfriends name because she didn't have a license.  Rite
away I thought, I don't have a license.  Does this mean I couldn't purchase
a car?
