License?

The audio is not in sync with the video.  What's up with that?

Harrumph. And this is why the right wingers don't want us to have any kind of social safety net in the US. "Think of the bureaucracy!!"

How could we possibly be any more bureaucratic and stymied than we already are?

You're probably on some kind of terrorist watch list now for questioning the supremacy of the Kentucky DMV.

Hah! Ha, ha, ha!
;-P

[Patrick]

Don't they drive on the wrong side of the road in France?

DMVs in the States are notorious for being difficult. You may already know this. But they might have a point, the road rules are probably a little different in a whole 'nother country.

Glad your back here in the motherland. We need as many people with common sense as we can get.

[Patrick]

Doh! Punctuation error in the last post, I'm in the doghouse.

[Jay]

What's with all you immigrants comin over here and raising all this hell...oh wait. Take a bus would ya? And don't forget yer gun! *wink*

[Alison]

Patrick, you have a point about different rules. That is why I was actually glad (in the end) that I went to a French driving school. But -- I learned how to drive here in the States 20 years ago!

Oh, and the French drive on the right-hand side of the road.

[Patrick]

I guess we have more in common with the French than I realized.

Are you going to get your own car? I think you need a Hemi.

[Margaret]

I've had that happen too when I did a video once.I just had to redo it and then it worked.

[Monty]

What do they want you to do now? Is this a clerk who doesn't know, and getting a supervisor should make things better? Or will you need a lawyer? It's a trade-off of time and money and what gets you a license at the least cost in the least time. When it's over, there is a large amount of wine and chocolate and a lost afternoon to look forward to hen this is over!

[Thomas]

Pleased to be in your presence, Alison-sensei. Your video reminds me of my youth in Japan: A pleasant experience in that growing-up time with the exception of a particularly frustrating getting-to-know time with that sea-jerk, Gojira...

AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! Gojira! Run away from him quickly, I stress this to you as urgently as I would a superior, not just as an equal or a subordinate I assure you! Running is what we must do now, shan't we! Run from GOJIRA!

[doobyus]

Just remember, cedez au droit! Oh and? The French drive on the WRONG side of the road, just like you colonials.

[newwavegurly]

So you had a PA driver's license, then you got a French driver's license, and now you're getting a Kentucky driver's license. I could sort of understand all of this (despite the agreement that should have allowed for a driver's license exchange) except that at one time, you actually had a driver's license issued by the U.S.!

What a load of crap.

I'd get on the phone with the Department of Transportation in Frankfurt and bitch from the top down. I love a big fight with a stupid government agency...well maybe I wouldn't like one with the IRS so much...

Although I hate not to blame every woe on Homeland Security, I wonder if this whole stupid thing is due to ignorant clerks who are too lazy to check the rules.

Make sure you document everything...on this date at this time I spoke to this person and they said this and I said that. This sort of record keeping is priceless in such a task.

[Jeorg]

Alison you have some hysterical posts here. I suggest the dmv over on regency road. it is smaller, lesser known and they are very friendly there. and, it is located near coffee times which is great for getting hyped up afterwards...

[Uranus]

Ali, after having witnessed a good deal of your Drivér's licence's troubles, I can tell some people cannot be scared of the avian flu!

Love the photo. See it does look fake! It's totally an X Files fan club membership card. Give me a break. Come back with a real licence lady and maybe we can help you out.

[cassie-b]

Don't you love it? I moved around a lot, here and Great Britain, and had similar problems. To drive in GB, I had to forfeit my PA license, so I just didn't drive.

I guess that means they won.

Cas
What part of PA?

[bhd]

C'mon. Buck up. Just get a copy of the results of your latest pap smear and a certified report on your blood type, get fingerprinted and barcoded like everyone else. Sheesh. How's a little RFID in the back of your neck really gonna harm you?

I keed, of course. And I think, all in all and for many reasons, you should be extremely grateful that you're not in New Joy Sea.

[Pumpkin]

I completely agree with everything you said. You should have been able to just walk in and get your licence. Ridiculous!

[laprincessa]

You should have just flown into Mexico and drove across the border. Then you wouldn't have had to get a license...hardly anyone in my neighborhood has one....they're all from there.
