It’s not who we let in. It’s our pathetic driver training.

Mind you, I am NOT complaining but in 2014 my license was renewed for 8 years COMPLETELY ON LINE.
Last week I went in for an ‘upgrade’ to a ‘secure’ license which required all sorts of ID, Birth Certificate etc etc etc.
The process took minutes but wasted about 3 hours because of the ‘crowds’...at least everything ‘public’ was done in English...<: <:
Anyhow, went through all that and they neglected to do an eye test...maybe it is guaged by how you act while dealing with the clerk and my license still expires in 2022 but it did seem strange.
Oh...the reason for my ‘shock & awe’ is my DOB is 1939 and it ‘scares’ me that the state would issue an 8 years license to someone that was 75, sight unseen....
BTW, I still work and drive for a living but ‘they’ don’t really know that.
Oh man eye tests. When I went to get my first license in Alamogordo New Mexico there was an old man going through recheck. Failed the eye test like 5 times while I was going through processing. Then the clerk said he should go home, come back first thing in the morning when he was fresh and awake and would probably pass. Guess how he went home, after it being PROVEN he couldn’t see well enough to drive. Then I took my test, around the block once, no left turns, no parallel parking, no nothing.
