What every boy and I am sure every girl, could not wait to
get, unfortunately you had to be 18 years old to drive in Aruba, so many went off
to college before they got a license. I have noticed in the Lago
publication about Residential and Community Information, Dated April 1, 1963
that a special drivers permit could be obtained at age 16 for use only within
the Lago Concession. (Link

Hi Danny, Can you use this ?
My first drivers license !
When you turned 18 you
could take the drivers test, and hopefully, get your license ! What a
great day that was- - -then my Mom & Dad let me drive by myself to the
Esso Jr. Club and be a
big shot !! ... Al .

From the looks of the licenses that have been sent in there were many
different forms used over the years. |
|
I also find it interesting to note that Mr. Spitzer's license, issued in 1964
show he lived in Sero Colorado, Josep Hubertus, the Dutch policeman shows he
lived in Pan-Am-Kamp. and Al's says L.Col. which was short for Lago
Colony. Does anyone know what the area was called before Lago got the
concession? |
