Driver's License Waterproof?
Is the Ontario Driver's License waterproof? I got some really ugly gunk on mine so I washed it with soap and water... Does the black bar at the back still work?


Thankssss

Yes, the magnetic bar should be fine(thanks Mythbusters!). Plus, who cares, nobody swipes those anyway.

Desda says thanks to adrian for this post.

Thanks Adrian for answering my question.

Yes, it was a serious question. Am I someone who creates random pointless threads? No. At least post something relevant to my question if you're going to post here at all.

Lol. Swiping the card is even less secure than looking at it - anyone can change the info on the strip with a card writer without anyone knowing. I'm assuming the only place where that would fail is the police since they probably have your real data.

Sometimes, if it's for something more serious I would assume.

Pretty sure they do. They also swipe them at Casinos, at the ones I've been to.
