The world we now live in

Anybody that knows me would never connect me with Britney Spears and I am hardly what could be called a fan. However, I am stunned by the news that California courts are in deadlock over the case relating to her fender-bender in a car park last year. The issue is about her driving license.
She does not have a California drivers license but she does have a Louisiana license. Now the jury is in deadlock! How can a court be in deadlock over something so stupid. A drivers license is something that you get given when you pass the test to drive. It says that you have passed the test and so can drive a car. So the issue in Britney Spears case surely is, is she guilty of bad driving, negligence, causing damage, or whatever.
I have long said that the laws in USA, Canada, Australia and probably other countries about drivers license for each province, state, district or area, is stupidity and bureaucratic nonsense. Think of the money Governments would save if there was a single license for the country. The whole system has gone crazy and the focus is on the process rather than why the drivers license was invented.
I cannot believe that time and money is being wasted on a Britney Spears court case over a driving offense that happened last year that now comes down to which drivers license she has!!! Are there not more important things to be dealing with at the moment?
