To the best of my knowledge, the only increased requirement for a
driver is to show license, registration, and insurance. You don't have
to say a damn thing, since you just gave them ID. You do have to get
out of the car if asked and otherwise comply with lawful orders.

If you disagree, please give an example of something not on the card
that someone would need to *say* (as opposed to *do*).

I just made a simple export; the PSDs are the original. I could put
'em up in .txt form I guess?

I could put it into my github if you want, though I don't much see the
point of that to be honest.
