2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Factual error: During the scenes where the drivers are all racing to the impound lot, Verone and Fuentes are doing background checks on the drivers. When they show the shot of Roman Pearce's California driver's license information, it shows his DOB as Apr 12, 1973, A License issue date of 03/24/90, and Expires Date of 03/24/01. Driver's licenses don't expire on the anniversary of the issue date, they expire on the driver's month and day of birth. So his driver's license should show an expiration date of something like 04/12/01 instead. (00:31:45)

Suggested correction: Not all state's driver's licenses expire on their birthday, or at least not anymore. Example: my current driver's license expires on the anniversary of when I got it Aug 16th, but my birthday is in June.

Pearce's is a California license; in the timeframe of the movie expiration date matched DOB.

I've never heard of a State license doing this. Which State is this? Although the mistake is valid.

According to google, "Every California license expires on your birthday five years after it's issued" (I can't seem to access the CA DMV website at the moment) but it does seem as though the mistake is, as you say, valid.

My reply was to the corrector who claims his/her State's driver's license expires on the issue date, which is something I've never heard of. So I was asking which State his/her license was from, not the movie's license.

Bishop73

Sorry, my mistake. On my page it was formatted as though you were replying to Sammo. Looking online, Delaware is one state where the licence expires 8 years after issue and not on your birthday (at least from what I can see).

Ssiscool

Delaware driver licenses, while issued for 8 years, still expire on the driver's birthday.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: Brian turns up to the first race and suggests upping the stakes. They are upped, but everyone has the right amount of money in bundles. They didn't know the stakes would be raised, and certainly not to what. So it's near impossible that all 3 would have the exactly right bundles of money. (00:06:00)

Correction: Just because people don't behave like you would doesn't make it a mistake. There's no reason to think that people gambling on street racing wouldn't have more money with them than the stakes would be. Plus, money (at least in the US) comes bundled in specific amounts and gamblers (of all types) would know and bet based on these bundles.
