Great fucking movie
So, I thought I'd see what the penalties were for just not having a license...
Since, after today, I don't ever want to deal with this insulting bullshit again, and if it I can get away with paying some fines when I get caught, I'll probably wind up ahead anyway...
Turns out, that the penalties for driving around without a license are worse than the penalties for killing someone with your car.
seems legit.
Depends where you are. I haven't had a license in 4 years, because I refuse to play their bullshit games. I have 2 of those and I paid a fine. I had insurance they let me drive off.
The "check-in" kiosk/photobooth creates a barcode/number ticket that is matched to your photograph, so you can't switch tickets with somebody. They claim it's an anti-fraud measure, and maybe it is, but long and short of it is...
the only piece of streamlined, automated technology in the entire fucking place was being used to prevent people from saving their own time by having someone else wait in line for them.
I waited 14 minutes to take a 15 second eye exam administered by a guy I wouldn't trust to pull the weeds out of my driveway.
Being from Canada, I should have never known about this shit. Unfortunately, I've spent 2+ hrs in DMV line when visiting my girl's family in California..
I had to renew my license and get a new photo taken the other day. The one parking spot immediately in front of the building was taken so I had to walk an extra ten steps.
When I got inside, there wasn't a line up so I didn't have a chance to sit down and enjoy the complimentary donuts and coffee.
It took the person working there almost a tenth of a minute to get up from their computer and walk over to the counter to help me, another minute to snap a photo and I was on my way within 5 minutes of arriving. I had planned for this to take 10 mins, so there I am with my finger up my ass.

I spent about 2 hours suffering in suburban Houston for an updated picture. Fortunately, I was there for a renewal, so I got to cut ahead of all the kids there trying to get their first license at least. My biggest problem was that the picture they took didn't look anything like the picture I'd had up to that point. It turns out that I looked much better ten years and two kids ago. Bummer.
