I made an appointment and got my first in-state license and registered two vehicles in under a half hour... It's ALL about making the appointment.

maybe i'm bitterly biased after living there for a few years, but south florida (esp the miami area) seems to be its own entity. can't really compare it to anywhere else in the US.

I know in VA it sucks ass.

They charge you if you do anything in person now.

So I did my license renewal by mail, and since I had a new address I marked the box that said "new address" and filled out all the info

2 weeks later I get my license in the mail with my address looking like they played scrabble with both addresses.

I call and they want me to pay even more for them to fix their fuck up. Told I can go online and do this also.

Go online fill out a bunch of shit, then they send a message saying they will send you a pin number to your house (by snail mail) so you can access the account you had to sign up in order to change stuff around. They don't ask for your address, they go off your license number and use the address you have on their file.

I never got my pin number, (no kidding the address they made up didn't exist) and sent them an email asking them how they planned to get it to me when their screw up with my address is the problem to start with.

Yeah, sounds like a bunch of panicked assholes trying to be "secure", when they have no clue how to even begin to do so.

In the end, no one is more secure, everyone is just more fucking hassled.

I actually was sent home to get a business card to "prove" that I worked for my own company (for which I am sole proprietor of, and share address with), when, of course, anyone could buy some fucking Avery card stock, and pull a Jim Rockford.

The fact that I had a document delivered to me by the USPS was apparently LESS VALID than something out of my printer.

FUCKTARDS!
