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