Someone gave me their grandfather's South Carolina driver's "tag". Yes, it
isn't a license at all! It's a metal tag, similar to a dog tag. It has
just your driver's number on it. SC, backwards to a fault, used it into
the 1950's.

My EU driver's license, issued in Bavaria in the eighties, has no
expiry date. Just like my boating card.

My EU driver's license, issued in Vienna in 1971, likewise has no expiry date.
But that's Europe, not a revenue hungry US state. The EU license cuts no ice
in this country unless you are merely renting a car. The cops made it plain
that the whole idea of a driver's license is to keep track of you and nothing
at all to do with driving skill, since my EU license was ample proof of the
latter.
