348-year-old gets drivers license in Md.

The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration issued driver’s licenses to dead people and a “348-year-old person” and returned drunken drivers to normal driving status despite repeat violations of a car breathalyzer program, a new state audit shows.

The MVA’s performance on a range of issues, from properly checking proof of residency before issuing identification to enforcing car insurance requirements, was “unsatisfactory” between January 2004 and Nov. 30, 2006, according to an Office of Legislative Audits report released Monday.
