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.

I got nervous (after the fact, obviously) when the guy was telling your international license was not correct. In 30 years as a police officer, I encountered the Int'l license 3 times. 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? As I saw this interaction he was trying to get money from you. Noraly, you ARE definitely a VERY strong woman. I'm proud of you for standing up to, what I'd call corruption. GOOD JOB👍👍.

Well, I am Dutch and had an international license which they said you needed to have it stamped in Brazil.. the man might have been correct.. even so that would give every traveler a huge amount of time and effort to get it stamped in every country.. glad Noraly got through.. love the adventures.. stay safe Noraly..

[@florichi]

@@FransBlaas1 Then she would need 50 pages for all the stamps she would have to have on the licence. Why have a paper saying "int drivers licence" in the first place if every country needs to stamp it?

[@alex-mp]

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.

[@neglectedloves]

The stamp of the international driver's license IS her local Dutch license. Period. Anything else stated is made up!

There's a video on YT where a Canadian is stopped by the LA police and is told that his driver licence isn't valid in the USA. He is even threatened to get his car (Lamborghini) towed.He insists that it's not the first time he is in the US and that Canadian Licences are valid. Then get's bullied that his exhaust is too loud. In the end he ends up in the police station filing a complaint.Idiots are all over the world.

[@OneManTrail]

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.

[@davecollins6122]

Which convention is your IDP, 1949, 1968? Noraly’s is 1968 (if you pause the video, you can see the convention date) which Cameroon is not a signatory to. I’m not knocking Noraly, international travel can be a minefield, and it’s the subtle things that can catch you out.

[@OneManTrail]

@@davecollins6122 You may have a valid point. However upon further study I have found that Cameroon’s traffic laws accept your home country’s driving license for stays less than 3 months without an IDP. So moot point for either situation in the end.

You are so bold. Amazing adventures. Be safe out there. Noraly.

[@sambado]

This border Officer guy was making a big fuzz out of nothing. He was really relentless in put you in the corner and then probably demanding something. But you firmly hold ground and demostrarte secure , strength and confidence in a really stressful situation. You are definitely a tough, wise, patience woman......And that jungle long track. 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. Probably you would be stucked in deep jungle, covered in mud, completely alone and exhausted in a deep rainforest with elephants around and all sorts of animals. Would not be a good night resting until the sun rises. Your calmness, courage and determination is inspirational. 💪

[@jakeallama22]

I'm so proud of you for not taking his crap and standing your ground! Much respect Noraly!

The Cameroon authorities will see this video and they will lose their jobs.

[@oidadesgibtsned]

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.

[@oidadesgibtsned]

@@tkautzor have you looked it up? Can you point us to a section of law?

[@tkautzor]

@@oidadesgibtsned no need to look it up, I know this. IDPs are regulated by an international convention, not national law.

I recently watched a video from a native born African female entrepreneur. She was explaining that as African nations gained independence from the colonizing nations their leaders wanted nothing to do with the capitalist systems that had exploited them for so long. So they leaned heavily towards a Marxist/socialist/ communist governmental structure. Her claim was that the ensuing bureaucracy has been the largest hinderance to their ability to grow and develop because aspiring entrepreneurs have to jump through countless arbitrary hoops in order to get anything done. When you do everything you’ve been told to you come back and you’re told you need another stamp, another signature, another form etc. We’ve just seen a perfect example of that here. This was more than just a shakedown of a foreigner for money. This exemplifies a rot inherent in the governmental structure that holds back everyone in the nation.

[@SamuelKuyawepa]

I'm really proud of your confidence and standing, I've watched several episodes and loved it watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

[@Just-Be-Fitting]

That guy was just trying to look for a small issue that he could use to try and extort some money from you. Absolutely happy that you did not give in. Absolutely love it.

[@TheRealStevenZ]

Yup trying to extort without actually saying it lol 😂

[@bendenisereedy7865]

Typical African official unfortunately.

[@IFFYSOUNDS]

If it's not stamped and countersigned by the issuer it's not valid. The officer is correct. Anyone could have written it up.

[@patrickomondi2795]

You are allowed in Cameroon to use your Drivers Licence fora period of 60 days as a foreigner even without the International one.​@@IFFYSOUNDS

[@kehindefasunle]

If the officer says it is not correct, then it is rude for her to say "I'm gonna go because it is correct". No foreigner would dares do that in the US or Europe. This nonsense is only possible in africa. The officer never asked for money from her.@@IFFYSOUNDS

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!

Just found your channel, I worked for Martinair as a charter pilot and lived in Amstelveen for 4 years in the early 80's. I am very impressed with what you have accomplished so far but I'm worried by the amount of risk you are taking. I have flown into almost every country on this planet and can tell you from first hand experience some of the countries you are riding through are very dangerous for anyone especially a young women travelling alone. Please take care of yourself and take precautions...things can go sideways very very quickly, Godspeed!

[@spokesmanster]

@@baz-wc4fi you can talk about corruption and wanting money, fair. But sarcastic and condescending towards poor people? There is no running water let alone clean at that remote hut location. Surely no sewage pipes either in the forest. "Behind the hut" as you call it, is actually the place to urinate in the forest. There is no private cubicle with running hot water to go wash his hands and then wipe them on a white soft towel and dry them in an automatic Dyson air drier as you do. Maybe you should donate more to Africa. Then maybe he will have these creature comforts and wash his hands first before talking to you, and urinate in a warm private and cozy environment with ceiling speakers blasting relaxing music whilst reading his newspaper as you are enjoying every day.
