Yea it doesn't make sense to me.
DL has more or less the same info as an ID, why is one considered a valid form and the other not, are they saying ID's cant be faked?
And if I go to some non guavament entity and they ask for ID but I hand them my DL they say they need ID, I roll my eyes, walk...
I understand that the joins might break to contractions etc, they don't have to cover the whole cable, just the middle section between the joins.
Cables shouldn't just break for no reason especially where there isn't a join.
In our area they keep stealing a piece of copper cable from the same spot which leaves a few suburbs without power.
You think they would repair it and then fill it in with cement?
Nope.
