I waited in line for damn near 3 hours this morning, finally got in. Sat inside for another half hour, and finally got to take my test to get my motorcycle permit. Passed with flying colors. Right as I was about to have my picture taken, the chick goes "sir, may I have your information one more time? .... yeah... are you aware that you're suspended from driving in the state of Florida?"
"Huh?! I've never even driven in Florida"
"Yeah, well it says you have a suspension effective today".
":thinking:"
"Here's the FL DMV's number"
so I hold for 20 minutes, and finally get someone over there, who after asking me for my Florida license info like 3 times (which of course I don't have... I've never lived in Florida) finally realized that theres apparently someone in Sarasota with my same first middle and last name with the same exact DOB. Oh, ok, so I can tell the chick at the counter and this will all be cleared up, right? Wrong.
I have to fax my birth certificate, SS card, DL, etc to the damn Florida DMV and wait for them to send me a letter clearing my name. Until then, they won't give me my permit (hell, I had to fight to get my regular license back)... not to mention had I decided to drive to Florida before I'd realized this, and I was pulled over, I'd probably be arrested.
wtf. weak. :screwy:
