He says my international drivers license is not correct - CAMEROON 🇨🇲[S7-E79]

  • In this episode, I am leaving the Central African Republic and I start heading towards the Republic of Congo. But to do so, I have to cross back into Cameroon first. I am low on cash, and there are no ATMs or banks here, and to get out of the CAR, I have to pay the police, immigration and customs officers. Upon entering Cameroon, the immigration and customs officer also wants money to stamp me in, leaving me with just enough to buy some petrol. As I leave town, there is another checkpoint, and I get the feeling that they want money too.. It's very common to have to show your passport at checkpoints like these, but never your passport, motorcycle papers, insurance, drivers license and international drivers license.. There are no stamps or signatures required on an international drivers license, so this time, I am holding my ground.

      Bribing is so normal in africa it’s almost a culture thing. And to be honest I’ve never paid more then 5 euro, mostly it’s even less then 0,50 cents. It’s just simply impossible to make a living with the wages that the government provides to the police (depends what country but it’s around 50 euros a month) it doesn’t make it right but I do understand why they do it.

    I just checked my International Driving Permit. There is no signature from any authority on the inside. However there is a signature printed on the front cover listed as “Authorized signature of the empowered authority”. Cameroon is listed inside right between Cambodia and Canada on the list of countries that honor the IDP. The issuing location is responsible for verifying your driving privileges in your home location at the time of issuance. You did the right thing and I’m so proud of the confident manner in which you handled the situation. Well done. Masterclass in border crossing etiquette.

A "stamp" or "signature"? As I remember (being retired 17 years), your County of Origin License and Int'l license, together, makes it valid, Right?

      That is correct. In the countries which an IDL is required it has to be accompanied by your country of origin license. Some countries in the EU do not require an IDL anymore. My advise to travelers is to research the traffic laws and IDL requirements of the countries one intends to visit, as it should be done by visitors into the United States who intend to operate a MV. In the case of the US the laws vary from state to state, but the idea is the same everywhere.

      They are very hard punishment for corrupt activities, no doubt, but as in every poor country, the corruption don't stays on one level. Often are whole departments involved. From the little officer on the street, up to the highest superior. Those scams mostly only light up when one part of the chain breaks. And even then, only the lower scapegoat will be punished and the other stay in position.

My goodness. Miles and Miles of deep isolated jungle. You are lucky to reach that small village and probably found accomodations there. Imagine this road after a heavy rainfall what it could be.

      He tried. He found out. Maybe later someone will let him pay for that shtick. As the saying goes: Do stupid things, pay stupid prices. Or something in that vein. Noraly doesn't deal prices for stupid behaviour. She simply refuses to play their stupid games. More often than not, she tries to solve problems with a bit of generosity and a big dollop of dutch cordiality, as far as I could glean from her vids. ;)

      He was correct in that the IDP needs to have the stamp from the emiting authority for it to be valid.

    I just got this showing up on the list of adventure rides. Thank you for sharing your trip.
    For me the most dangerous part was meeting the two men on the remote dirt road. They turned out to be friendly. Lucky you. Otherwise probably not so nice. Two guys and no one would even know where you were left. All the best and be save.

    Such a joy seeing you doing all travels I could only dream off. All your hard work editing, sharing, explaining, planning the shots, opening up to the unexpected pays off more than the money you may earn and experiences you live. You open a world to more than 2 million people. Thank you so much ❤

    🦋I’ve always believed butterflies to be a sign of comfort and hope. After having to deal with the unfortunate mess at the checkpoint, I found it beautiful that a butterfly found its way to you as you ate your lunch. Safe travels, Noraly ❤

    I loved when you stopped in the jungle and turned off Alaska and we could hear the sounds of the animals and insects, so loud. And that beautiful butterfly just loved Alaska. I think it thought Alaska was a new type of flower.

      My wife and I were inchanted by how the butterfly landed on Alaska then flew a circuit around Noralie to land back on her hand. I don't think she saw that but I think it is an inspirational moment!
