services of a rental vehicle company. and yet there was no paperwork that documented the transaction. >> were you given a receipt? >> no. we are shielded the identity because no one was charged with a crime. but we watched cash being given and no receipt handed back. >> did you pay cash? did they give a receipt? no, no receipt. driving school said they give receipt to everyone paying cash to rent a car. >> were you given receipt? they say no, we weren't. what do you say to the customers? >> they should ask for and get receipt. yes. nathan: got you. you are sure you give receipts to all of your customers? >> absolutely.

>> they test the drivers differently. in maryland the backlog is low as three days. in vass the backlog is three weeks. d.m.v. three months is cited for test appointment. another they all have far fewer disqualifiers to use the car like middle parking brake. virginia regulates the car rental through paperwork and receipt. d.c. d.m.v. declined an interview and instead we went to the d.c. councilmember supervising the d.m.v. >> this is like an opportunistic cottage industry. >> we asked mary the question we kept hearing. >> what can be done to decrease the weight -- wait time. >> we have a similark problem. we need a new site. the site they used is cramped. >> who will be done to improve the situation at the d.m.v.? we talked to the councilmember who s

freshman kicker on the varsity football team. >> it's important that the boys see strong females. anybody if they work hard can contribute to the success. she missed only one extra point all season. >> i get nervous but i know guys will protect me. they will block and do my job and kick it through. girls don't play football! that stereotype is long gone. she has proven herself as a member to the football team. a good player. >> she has worked hard at it. >> it has to be weird to be around a group of smelly guys all the time. we don't smell good. >> despite the aroma issues. she has a love for the sport. not a surprise. she is a rugby play
