ADVENTURES AT THE DMV (ULTRA VANITY)
Self | 10-23-2018 | Self

Posted on 10/23/2018 11:02:32 AM PDT by morphing libertarian

Being obsessively early, I meandered to the Oceanside office of the DVV, thankfully close to McD's and IN-N-Out. Did O say 6:50 AM. I should have known better. My friend drive by yesterday at 3 and said half empty parking lot. Couldn't make out then.

About 30 chairs under a cover by the front door. Some people hang standing hopping to cut the line. Some already waiting down the side of the building. 7:50 guy come out and starts down the line of chairs cutting off the jumpers in the middle standing. You want what, one there. you want how, over here. Sorts about 50 people ion 2 minutes. Answers questions and knows the answers immediately and no repeats or wrong answers.

Takes my line around the other side and we enter. No confirmation code on your application online. Too bad, so sad. Try those monitors. Slows me 6 minutes. i did it online and no code. Incontinent about 7 minute delay. When i left for los Banos 2 people in front of me for first line. When i came back 7, not so bad. Get to the front and table esp[aniol comes back to the counter and has to re-do his turn while the other line move by me. About a 6 minute lesson in spanglish.

You can tell who's illegal. They're with someone and don't speak. The person they're with does all the talking. Yes she was born in Bumfu-- Chihuahua and her birth certificate was kept by Pancho Villa, she was one of his 12 children, the American one. Each line has an illegal. They can't speak English, they have no papers, they lie and sign something and they get a spanish language test with their escort standing by them and no one saying anything. I asked and was told, they're not answering for them. Read: not touching the screen.

Passed, passed, passed, made the employees laugh. If this is my real ID what was I using the last 55 years.

I worked in a state bureaucracy. These employees were on the ballad the other lines moved fast. I give the employees an A, the law an F, and the system a D+. Everything we did could have been done online with bio readers, eye print, thumb print. Eye res have a doctor sign off on line or go to WallyMart of CVS and pay $10.

Diver's test examiners go to your house or your school or business. Work from home.

Close 66% of DMV offices. No license for illegals.

If the DMV had to compete with private industry or Wall Mart they would close in 30 days.

I'm 71, 1 or 2 more visits.

For giggles I explored the “internet appointment” feature of the Calif DMV the other day:

First available appointment at my branch?

IN FOUR MONTHS...!

yeah, don’t even look. But if you go early you can do as I did without appointment,. Do the application for renewal online and MAKE SURE YOU GET A CONFIRMATION NUMBER from the commuter by reviewing the info on your application and submitting. The screen will pop up a confirmation #. My scout said half empty at 3 pm yesterday in O-side.

I completed my visit yesterday to renew my driver's license and something called "Real ID" here in Virginia. I was required to bring proofs of citizenship, proofs of Social Security number, proofs of residence (the plural is intentional) and arriving at mid-morning, it took 2 1/2 hours of waiting to be seen. No one around me spoke anything but Spanish in those 2 1/2 hours.

The lady at the counter - when I finally got there - was a Muslim in hejab but she turned out to be courteous and reasonably efficient and cooled my righteous anger towards the Governor, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

For the moment.

I'm guessing you were not employed as a writer.

Am I correct?

writing was big part of my job till 1998. I had two anal retentive bosses. Then I retired and dumped grammar and sentence structure. Jim’s auto text ruins my posts and I don’t proofread. Need my secretary back (as we used to call them)

Thanx for stopping by. Always glad to have someone on point of the thread.

Have to get my drivers license renewed soon and will need more documentation than for a passport for the new 'enhanced' license.

Took my wife 1/2 day.

The NYS DMV is lucky I am not a violent democrat.

I applied for an “Enhanced” license which we have been told would be required for travel to Canada and to speed admittance into OUR OWN GOVERNMENT buildings...

I had to provide my current license, Passport, 3 utility bills, a mortgage statement {been paid off for 15 years} to verify my ID.

After all of this was processed, requires 2 DMV employees to verify, I was then asked if I wanted this information used to register to vote!

Well I’ve been registered for over 50 years and would have loved to go ballistic as in NY State nobody is required to have any ID to vote.

This is the government our Founders feared, the government they did their best to prevent, and the exact reason for the 2nd Amendment.

"They're with someone and don't speak."

I bet they speak English. It's a game they play to look innocent, and helpless. Ran into it all the time as a C.O. in the prison system. They always claimed they needed an interpreter. Most had been in this country for years, and spoke English just fine.

I don’t know. My mom renewed her license in 2016, good until she’s 103 (she died early this year at 99 1/2. She failed the vision part of the test, got glasses at Walmart, but when she went back to the DMV they didn’t look at the glasses or make her take the vision test again, just gave her her license. She was driving—including the freeways a couple of months before she died. I think she renewed her license in Escondido.

For a contrast, here in Missouri most license bureaus are run by non-profits who get a fee for each transaction. The employees are polite, efficient, and are busy only on the last few days of the month.

I made an appointment at the same office a couple months ago. When I got there the parking lot was empty. They said that a pipe had broken in the bathroom so they’d shut the office down for 2 weeks.

I know. Last year she was angry that I used Uber to get to the SD airport instead of letting her drive me. “The DMV trusts me to drive more than my own son!” That said, she had one fender-bender in her last five years of driving and it was the other person’s fault.

When she was 95 she thought nothing of drive from Escondido to Garden Grove to get her hair and nails done.

Good punctuation and grammar helps tell the story. I’m still not sure what happened. Something about dmv and people who don’t speak English.
