Not sure where in the wiki that even is. I can edit it but I rarely touch it, so I am not even sure where that info is on the wiki.
That's the thing, as far as I could search, the wiki doesn't even have any mention of the driver's license outside of that walkthrough for beginners bit that tells new people to get the license asap, and that doesn't mention an age requirement. Prior to your telling me, and my search into DL age by country I had no clue that Russia had among the stricter licensing laws for youths. - Which might not necessarily be a bad thing considering how many "accidents" happen here because of youths who haven't matured into the responsibility yet.
Personally I would suggest adding into the wiki the info about needing to be 18 and they check for fake licenses under the Community Center in the Industrial St Petersburg area... or even better include that info in-game if possible. A simple one line of text tag added to the current text about offering a drivers course with "(18+ only. No fakes!)" would clear that bit up both in game and on the wiki I think.
Another possible in-game suggestion that would be more "in character" and would also fix an issue we already spoke about - but at the cost of taking some time to implement - would be to replace the useless Pushkin Dance ad with a Community Center courses ad or a "Young Drivers of Russia Initiative" (or some such excuse) ad which in either case the visuals included there would explicitly say 18+ and we check for forgeries. This would have the added benefit of making players who have yet to check all areas of the game to know about the possibility of driving and how to unlock it - assuming they check the notices boards.
Also, thanks for the how to assist info. I already have N++ and a decent working knowledge of using it, but not the rest so I will go download that pack and get myself used to the qsp language. Then probably give Kevin a call once I feel competent. That way instead of asking people to waste their time adding or fixing things I can just use my own time up if I care that much. xD
PS: As an aside, I think you are completely wrong about the government not being fooled by that fake id (unless Russia is that much better than the USA at these things.) Unless Russia's version of the DMV is much improved over the American version I just don't see it. And I believe I have very good proof against it being true.
Fraud and forgeries almost never get caught by the initial contact points in government with the public, and generally only get exposed by domino effects when a different case exposes that something fishy is going on, and these new investigators take a long hard look into things that have been accepted for years.
Unless the fake was really really really badly made the low level government employee definitely would accept it. Most government drones don't actually care or look too closely / do much external investigation. They don't actually take time out of their day to investigate whether a picture shown on current id actually matches the picture already on file, nor do they check whether info matches outside of too obvious things that jump out and can't be ignored. Someone who looks like they are 15 and has an id claiming to be 40 for example "might" fail miserably. But even then I am doubtful and for good reason. Next paragraph give an example of just how horrible governmental oversight of id's can be.
My mother actually was a victim of identity theft where someone pretending to be her actually procured governmental services (including disability, food stamps, and a few other programs) using my mom's SS number. When the government lost track of the woman, they called up my mother after apparently doing a search into her name across the country. At the time they actually thought my mom was trying to fraud them and had simply moved residences... up until they realized that the woman who they had been in contact with was a completely different skin color, height, weight, and age.
All of which are obvious parts of appearance that you would think governmental employees would check before actually giving out services. But no, they just do not check these things even when it should be their job. The low level employee just accepts the papers, assumes they are correct (or if not then it is someone else's problem to catch it) and proceeds to accept the application simply because that takes far less time than to do a full background check of every single piece of submitted paperwork to make sure it is legit.
"But one case does not prove anything..." okay well how about the fact that I am unable to use my legs and haven't for over a decade, and three times now I have shown up in person in my wheelchair to get a driver's license renewal and specifically stated that I can't use my legs, yet for the last decade and change they have renewed my unrestricted license without taking the time to change it from a general license to a restricted / disabled license despite seeing the wheelchair handles visible in my id pictures? That's bad enough by the DMV, now add in that not a single police officer has given me a ticket for this unrestricted license, despite a couple being aware of it and my personally mentioning it to a friend in the local Sheriff's Office. I was told not to worry about it because no one will ever actually take the time to check unless I actually get caught or suspected of suspicious activity. Or even if someone was feeling extra initiative to take the time to do a file check, they wouldn't report the discrepancy even if they see it since the extra paperwork, court reporting, and other wasted time would make them not interested in it.
