It used to be the case in UK many decades ago (it may have changed now)
that one could simply go to an auto accessories store and buy "CD"
("Corps Diplomatique") stickers (just like the "GB" stickers for UK
vehicles being driven in France). (Not as strange as it may sound: even
license plates were not *issued* officially: one was allocated a
registration number and could go and get the embossed plate made
anywhere -- or stick plastic letters and numbers on a blank plate). The
chances of a vehicle so adorned being ticketed were very slim (at least,
so it was said), because the police didn't want to risk a "diplomatic
incident."

the US license as long as s/he is not accredited as a diplomat to
the United States (which is not likely to happen for quite a while
if ever).

If he did get that diplomat accreditation, the FCC then couldn't do
anything to him. Hell,
you can shoplift and go drunk driving and they can't touch you if you're
a diplomat. The
only way New York City gets diplomats to pay up on parking tickets is to
tow his car
away, and he has to pay the tickets to get it back.
