Isn’t there a comedy routine based on the line, “Just pay the man the two dollars.”?

“Suspended,” says the state, “Since May 5, 2005”.
..fun date, that. It’s why I can remember it. 5/5/05.
“Shit.”

Steve Mills spend decades in prison waiting to reunite with Lisa Gobar on 5/5/05 at the Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School, only to die in a car crash on the way to his date.
Coincidence? I think not.
I was informed by a friend on Friday that Ontario now suspends your driver’s licence 15 days after the due date for paying a ticket if it is still unpaid. To un-suspend it, you need to pay the ticket, pay the $150 licence reinstatement fee, and wait 3-5 working days. Guess how he found out about this.

This made me (and my husband) laugh out loud. People are so STUpid. I occasionally see people driving cars that you know have airbags, sitting as close to the steering wheel as you can get. That’s really not going to go well, either, unless they have disarmed the airbag. They’ll probably still get the steering column through their chest, though.

I’m so short I don’t have much choice. My seat is pushed just about as far forward as it can go… if I push it back any I am operating the pedals with my tippy toes.
No ticket stories (the one and only ticket I’ve ever gotten was dismissed). But here’s my thing:
I spent last year in Europe. My NJ license expired in November. I got back from Europe in December, but luckily it wasn’t a problem; I got a ride up to the DMV, paid my twenty-five bucks, and had a worse picture. My license no longer looks like something typed up on a 1950 typewriter, as the old NJ licenses did.
It expires this November. Issued 12/7/06, expires 11/30/07. That’s less thana year.
Why? Because New Jersey is absurdly retarded and wants another $25 for me. I almost never actually drive anymore, so if I didn’t need it for ID, I wouldn’t bother to renew it. Alas, apparently your face ceases to match your name when you start to owe the DMV.
