Ahhhh — DMV on Christmas Eve
December 24, 2007
So, this is kind of crazy. I went to the DMV on Saturday to turn in my old license (it says Temporary on it), and I wanted to get the real one. Back when I got the DUI more than a year ago I had to serve a 90 day suspension, take the written test and then supposedly get my license. But, when I took the test, they realized that my lawyer never cancelled a DMV hearing he requested. So, until my lawyer cancelled that dumb hearing, I was issued a temporary license. It had an expiration date of like 3 years, so I figured there was no rush to get a new one. But, since I’m about to go to Florida and I might get a rental car, I figured I better bite the bullet and head over to the DMV to get the real license.
Anyway, come to find out, the license was actually suspended in June and I had no idea. I’ve been driving around for 6 months on a suspended license. When my lawyer finally cancelled the hearing, they just suspended the temporary license and never even sent me a letter or anything. And of course on Saturday my insurance company is closed, so I couldn’t get the license reactivated until I could get a copy of my SR-22 to the DMV. Even though the DMV could look in their computer and SEE that I’ve been paying for an SR-22 for a year. They still wouldn’t reactivate my license until I brought in something in writing from the insurance company. AND, they confiscated my license. So, I had NOTHING!
Wow - that sucked. Luckily, I never got pulled over. My insurance company was open today and I got what I needed and finally got my new license. Plus, they renewed it so I’m good until like 2012. Yay!
By the way, Christmas Eve is the BEST DAY EVER to go to the DMV, I was in and out in about 20 minutes. They called my number 2 minutes after I sent down. Amazing!!!!! That never happens.
I went to T-Bones Steakhouse with Don and his father last night. I had this amazing lobster bisque to start off with, but it was so filling, that I was like full before we even got to the salad and the entree. I definitely didn’t have room for dessert. It was a great meal though. We came home and watched Snatch - cool movie. I can’t believe I had never seen it. I had definitely heard of it.
