Why I hate the Ministry of Transportation (long)

Murphy’s Law as it pertains to the legality of me driving.

This is long, but well worth the read I hope.

[edit] Apparently the character limit it posts here is 20,000. This post was 26,000. So, I posted it in my LJ. Take the time to read if you want to see how not to go about getting a ddriver’s license or register a car. [/edit]

I hate the MTO.

:frowning:

LOLOL! :smiley:
Brilliant!
Definitely worth the read.

Highlights:

License has been given to MTO after suspension. Upon attemt to renew said license:

The entire dialogue between “Your Hero” and the “Low IQ’d MTO Sloth” also had me in stitches.

On a side note: My G1 expires in just over a year. You have inspired me to book my test NOW!

For those of you that emailed, thanks. :slight_smile:

Update: I got my real license in the mail this morning. I do not actually look like a terrorist, but it isn’t a photo I would use in a dating service…

“I am sorry sir, your Firearms Acquisition Certificate is expired…”

Great story, and worth the read. Makes me very happy that getting my Pensylvania Driver’s Lisence consisted of…

  1. Forking over $32 for a permit.
  2. Using aforementioned permit to drive with a parent for a month.
  3. Scheduling and taking a Driver’s Test.
  4. Failing.
  5. Rescheduling a test for two weeks later.
  6. Passing, and leaving with my new lisence. Complete with horrible picture of myself.

No wonder we have so many bad drivers.

When I road-tested for my first license, my examiner read a magazine in the car and got us lost. She said she’d pass me if I could find my way back to the office, and I did.
