Licence to hire speedboat in Greece/Spain
 
Having followed this thread ad nausea I believe we should make every effort
to help this chap get a fake licence - hopefully he will end up rotting in a
Greek jail which is rather a fitting end for someone like
him................

Yet again, you are revealing that you have virtually no experience in
driving motorboats. If you did, you would know that motorboats regularaly
get pulled over by the authorities - especially in Spain.


I have no experience in Spain, some in Greece off a variety of
Islands but none off the mainland. Never been pulled yet.

Perhaps I don't do anything wrong.

The mere fact that you are asking this question on a sailing group

suggests
that you have very little experience with boats. If you did, you would

know
better than to ask on a sailing group as you would know that most sailors
have a dim view of motorboaters,


I am aware of that, it's called snobbery. Seen it several times
during Cowes week and it's pathetic.

particularly obviously irresponsible ones
like you.


Nothing obvious in respect of my sailing/boating/responsibility
has been revealed here. What has been revealed is my utter
disdain reflected in a silly system which clearly requires
updating. There ought to be some sort of "permit" available to
those with provable experience gained in a non-licence requiring
country like the UK. Said permit should cost no more than a
reasonable admin charge.

Yes Steve,
Screw their little grab for money and power by way of making you pay up to
£500 to obtain an "International Certificate of Competence (ICC)" .
Start with this link and look around the web, make up a Beauty and insert

a
proper series of characters (numbers/letters) for the official number...

That is a good solution if you are a selfish git who doesn't care that you
are putting at risk the livelihood of the person who hires you the boat.
Here in France the hirer is held responsible - and gets very large fines,
equipment confiscated, and even a jail sentence - if he hires to somebody
who has no or forged documents.

Yeah, right. Got a link where I can forge a usenet posting license?

I top-post because what I have to say is more important that what you had to
say, originally. Live with it. You are a troll. Plonk.

Clearly you have very little time on the water.


Clearly you should learn to post correctly.

Well stated! However, I believe that "Plonk" should have been all caps.
