I know we should implement some way of retesting folks eyesight and faculties, 'cos we certainly have LOADS of virtually blind and senile folk out driving on our roads, but all we have is a ten (or is twenty? I think it's twenty) year expiry on our licences - we simply post or email a form off with a fee, and automatically receive a new one in the post. Ugh, I would HATE to have to go through all that rigmarole you had to, to renew my licence!<br /><br />As for the jury duty - oh my, you poor thing, that really IS a double whammy for one week! Y'know, I've always fancied being a juror myself, and was over the moon when I got called last year. I still haven't forgiven hubby for getting me out of it - he was due off the island the week it rolled round, and (sensiblly and truthfully) made me excuse myself on the grounds I'm the sole carer of our disabled son.

The problem was that the last time I'd been into the DMV was before the w/c. I wheeled in and they freaked out. I guess you're supposed to tell them when you stop using crutches and begin using a w/c. Who knew! Then I failed the eye test! Grr! <br /><br />I had to get a letter from both my eye and orthopedic doctors, saying I was fit to drive. Then I had to go downtown, have a (videotaped) meeting with some big wig, and do a driving test to prove that I was worthy of a driver's license. When, for the last 15 years, I had been driving with hand controls and a clean driving record. Hell, I'm probably a better driver than 90% of those with 2 good feet. : PSo. Cal.
