Peruvian driving license
 

Hi,
Yet another problem has cropped up!!!
We were on the road today heading to Huaraz when we got a tug from the Careterra Policia. After checking my paperwork he informed us that we were illegal because we didn't have a Peruvian license. Apparently my UK license is only valid for 30 days in country, we have been here now for 6 weeks. The cop said we would have to go back to Lima to get the license and will have to pay a fine of 1800 Soles!!!
Does anyone know if this is a requirement or can I just keep on going? Will I have problems crossing out of Peru into Ecuador?
Hope someone can help with this fairly urgently, don't want to be stuck in Huaraz too long waiting for an answer!
Thanks
Kev & Lorraine

Is this a good time to bust out your International Drivers Permit/License?

International driving licence isn't the issue here, the cop said I need a Peruvian licence.
