DMV License Renewal Time
Juries in my community used to be drawn from the registered voters list. What has this got to do with the DMV? Well, the jury commissioner switched to drawing from DMV records when people who didn’t want to serve stopped registering to vote. A jury room supervisor once told me the selection process changed because the commissioner figured out that people who did not want to be called for jury service would give up voting, but not driving.
I just got my notice that I have to renew my license. When I looked carefully at the form I am to complete for my renewal, I saw the little box below . . .
Now, the same politicians that support giving driving privileges to illegal aliens have made it this much easier for them to vote when they apply for a driver’s license or for a state ID card.
My solution for the problem is to take the DMV (and other bureaucracies) out of the hands of politicians and engage competitive bids to administer licensing. Let the efficiency of good commercial practices replace the surly civil service. Maybe then, there wouldn’t be people waiting in lines extending out the door and halfway around the building. You know, like the lines that there will be at your doctor’s office when health care is administered by the government.
