California License Application

California License Application

Either California has more lax driver’s license laws than New York or the person who I talked to at the NYC DMV was a mean and vindictive person. You might recall that I let my Massachusett’s license expire without being renewed and by the time I realized I should have a license, the person at the NYC DMV told me that I’d have to do a written and driving test all over again. I didn’t have anyone’s car to borrow and also I wasn’t looking forward to taking a driving test in New York so I never got around to it.

So yeah, THANK YOU CALIFORNIA. I was ready to jump for joy when I found out I wouldn’t have to take a driving test again. Not that I’m a bad driver, but I also haven’t driven in a while and would most likely have to practice. Plus the place in Massachusetts where I took my driving test was stupid easy and I wasn’t confident I’d get another driving test that easy ever again.

New License Stupidity

New License Stupidity

A friend told me this story, and I didn’t follow up on how long it had been expired, but either way I could totally see this working. I don’t think the people at the DMV aren’t paid enough to really care. But of course I’m the honest person who fills out applications online and sees that I can’t get an easy exchange if the license is too old so of course I volunteered that information before doing anything. I should’ve talked to my friends before going to the DMV.

New License Application

New License Application

It’s true, one year after your license has expired, you have now legally forgotten how to drive. Living in New York you don’t think about needing a license really except for when you get carded for things. I put it off too long and now I have to start all over again T_T it’s totally my fault and I’ll never forget this again. Before I went to the DMV this morning, just in case I took the online quizzes to refresh my memory.

An hour and a half later or so I had passed the written test with flying colors. No really, I saw that I got 100%. Now I have a permit and a road test later and I’ll have my shiny New York license. A friend told me to take the test on Long Island because it’ll be one billion times easier, I’ll probably end up doing something like that because there’s no way I want to test in a crowded area.

When I took my road test 11 years ago all I had to do was drive out of a parking lot, turn left into traffic, turn right into a dead end street where I did a three point turn and then drove back to the parking lot. It all happened in an area smaller than a city block.
