When I was 5 I was in the car when my uncle had a minor car accident. The policeman asked to see my uncle's license, and I saw it briefly when he gave it to the officer. The license was printed on safety paper that had green and red swirls in the background. The officer said his license was expired and I believed the policeman knew it was expired because it had gone moldy (hence the green and red swirls).
