Can someone explain this moronation to me? Why do foreign police agencies care if I paid my yearly fee to AAA for a piece of paper to help morons who can't read basic English?

What country are you going to that doesn't have an agreement with the US to recognize your drivers license as valid? And why are you not just paying for insurance to the rental agency to make it 10x easier for any issues that come up
My IDP had the date handwritten on the cover in pen ink, so I just took a razor, scraped the ink off, and wrote in a new date, lol.
Not OP, but I was asked for an IDP even in Spain.

Then you show them your US drivers license. Spain does not have an agreement to honor US drivers licenses.
>Spain does not have an agreement to honor US drivers licenses.
Wikipedia says Spain recognizes international driving permits and is a party to the treaty countries made to recognize each other's drivers licenses. China is the only major country I've heard of that doesn't recognize foreign licenses.
How stupid are you? An IDP isn't a substitute for a license. And you yourself said that Spain doesn't recognize American licenses.
So, in Spain, an American motorist must present both a U.S. driver's license and an IDP to rent or operate a motor vehicle. I know this because I've actually been to Spain and rented a car in Spain, and because I'm an adult human being who researched the requirements before shitposting.
I have no idea what the process is like where you live, but they don't "just hand it to you" here. You complete an application, take into an AAA center, and then they fill out the booklet on your behalf.
If your AAA center does that, then cool--mine doesn't.
lol you so stupid, I gave them a erasable pen.
nowadays I go in, they just hand it to me. you can get as many as you want whenever you want. so I just get 3 of them usually and they even ask when do you want the date to start.
It often depends on state.
For instance, South Korea recognizes the drivers license of like 30 states, but not the other 20
So that foreign police agencies dont have to deal with moron americans driving illegally on their roads
If you truly believe people who don't speak English are "moronic", you should only travel to English-speaking countries. Avoid red, orange and yellow countries in picrel. Non-colored countries have English as their primary official language, and green countries are more or less proficient in speaking English.
Fake or invalid driver's licenses are very easy to present. Your driving privilege may be revoked in your home country, but somehow you managed to keep your physical driver license. The license I carry in my wallet overseas is invalidated, but has an expiration date of 2059, kek.
>green countries are more or less proficient in speaking English.
Didn't expect Russia to be that fluent, and for the Balkans to be more fluent than western Europe.

I think you answered your own question
Its so theres a page in the book that the cops can read no matter where on earth you go
And I think the registration process creates a paper trail that the cops can use to verify the license is real, was actually issued by your home country, and belongs to you
